“Gabe and Jude”
Gabe and Jude will
hike a peak this weekend. Gabe wants to hike, and Jude wants to camp
and have a fire, so they will hike to the peak in the day, then camp
and have a fire at night.
That day, they rode
their bikes to the peak at noon, and they hiked all day. The path was
not wide, so Gabe and Jude walked slow. Then, Jude fell.
“Ow!” he yelled.
Jude went to him. “Are you okay?” he asked.
“My leg, my leg! The pain, the pain! Call for help!”
“Oh no,” said Gabe. “Can you walk?”
Jude did not say. He just cried and cried
and cried. “I did not want to hike,” cried Jude. “I just want to camp.
Why did you make me hike?”
“Don’t be mad,” said Gabe. “Just rest. We can camp here. Do you want to
stay here for the night?”
“Okay,” said Jude, and he did not cry.
Gabe made a fire and set up the tent. Soon, Jude ate and smiled. He had
less pain in his leg.
“Is your leg okay?” asked Gabe.
“Yes, it is,” said Jude.
“You were in a very bad mood. What a fuss! You did not want to hike,
you just wanted to cry
and cry.”
“Well, we can hike tomorrow. My leg will not hurt tomorrow. Then we can
hike to the peak, or hike back to our bikes.”
Then, the rain came.
“Quick, get in the tent,” said Gabe. “It will rain very hard, I think.”
Jude and Gabe sat in the tent and had a good time. They went to sleep
and waited for the next day. Jude hurt his leg and the rain came, but
all in all, it was a good day.
