🚒🚒🚒 Firemen to the Rescue! 🚒🚒🚒

It was a bright sunny morning, Joseph, Mia,Tom and Emma were enjoying the beautiful day in the meadow. Mia and Emma were playing badminton while Tom and Joseph were sitting and watching the girls play.

While playing, Emma hit the shuttlecock so hard that it went flying over Mia’s head and got stuck on a tree. Everyone was wondering how to reach the shuttlecock and bring it down. A few moments later, Joseph struck upon an idea. He decided to climb the tree and get it down. The girls were worried. “What if he falls down?” said Mia. First was Joseph, he held one branch and put his feet on a weak branch. The branch could not support his weight and it snapped! Joseph was stuck on the tree! The girls were terrified. They rushed and called the firemen so they could rescue Joseph. The fireman pulled out a long ladder and told Joseph to climb down. “Climb down the ladder and do not be afraid!” shouted one of the firemen. Joseph carefully stepped on the ladder and came down safe and sound. 

“Were you scared?” asked Emma. Joseph was ready to reply, “Are you kidding? I was not scared at all!” exclaimed Joseph. Mia started whispering something in Emma’s ear, “I think Joseph was petrified when he realised he was stuck on the tree,” whispered Mia, giggling.

“I think you are right,” said Emma. Tom suddenly popped up in the middle of their conversation and said, “Is it really hard getting down a tree once you have climbed it?” Emma and Mia both looked at Tom and replied, “Yeah, obviously.” Tom got embarrassed and said, “Anyway, it’s getting dark so we should head back home now. “Yep!” replied Joseph. Tom, Mia, Emma and Joseph went back home. The next day, the four friends told everyone in their neighbourhood about what had happened the other day.
