The Camping Trip
Last weekend, Jake and his family went camping. His dad said, “You must pack warm clothes because it might get cold at night.” Jake nodded and packed his bag. When they arrived, Jake’s mom said, “You may explore the woods, but you must not go too far.”
Jake and his sister, Lily, found a small stream. “We should build a bridge to cross it,” Lily suggested. Jake agreed, and they worked together. Later, their dad said, “You must be careful around the water.”
That night, as they sat by the fire, Jake said, “We should come here again next year.” His parents smiled and agreed. Jake knew he could always count on his family for fun adventures.
