The Ice Cream Cone


It was a sunny day outside, Sammy and DeeDee were outside playing. There were both next door neighbours and always played together in the afternoon. While playing outside, they heard the ice cream truck from afar and ran to their mothers for money. They waited patiently as the truck made its way down the street and finally the truck stopped in front of them.

Sammy and DeeDee both got an ice cream cone and sat contently on the porch steps. After awhile, Sammy suggested that they play and eat at the same time, but DeeDee didn't want to. Sammy pleaded and pleaded and DeeDee finally gave it. They were running around the yard, and Sammy told DeeDee to chase him, but DeeDee couldn't keep up and tripped. DeeDee's ice cream cone flew out of her hands as she fell forward landing on her hands, elbows then knees. In shock, DeeDee slowly got up and started to cry. Sammy hearing her cry ran back to see how DeeDee was doing. DeeDee's elbows and knees were bleeding so Sammy ran to his mom for help. Sammy watched nervously as DeeDee whimpered in pain while his mom cleaned her wound.

Later that day, DeeDee went to find Sammy to play again, but Sammy was mad at DeeDee. Sammy was upset that he didn't finish eating his ice cream before it melted and shouted at DeeDee for being so clumsy and making him worry. Holding back her tears, DeeDee turned around and limped home.
