A Cave Kiss
While You Read What is Ben scared of?
My class is in front of a cave. Everyone looks excited. But I am a little scared. Ms. Carol smiles at me and says, “Don’t worry, Ben. You will be fine.”
“Let’s get ready, everyone! Wear a helmet first! It will protect your head,” Ms. Carol says. “You are all wearing sneakers, right? The cave floors will be slippery and bumpy. Let’s put on our jackets too. It will be cold inside the cave.”
“Ben, are you ready?” asks Ms. Carol. I am still scared, but I say, “Yes.” I slowly walk inside. It feels nice and cool. Drip, drip. “Ahh! Something fell on my head!” I yell.
“Ben! That is a cave kiss. The cave likes you!” says Ms. Carol. We all laugh together.
