Lena went to the park with her big brother, Marco. She wanted to go down the tall slide. She climbed up the ladder, one step at a time.
At the top, Lena looked down. The slide looked very long. Her legs felt shaky, and she sat very still.
Marco called up to her. "I will wait at the bottom," he said. "I will catch you."
Lena took a big breath. She let go and slid down fast. Marco caught her at the bottom. Lena laughed and ran back to the ladder.
Choose the best answer.
