A bright afternoon shines over the school playground. Max watches the big slide from a distance. Ms. Carter gathers the class and points at the slide. “The big slide is under repair. Do not go near it,” she warns.
Max glances at the orange safety tape fluttering in the wind. He shrugs and whispers, “I’ll be careful.” Ignoring the warning, he walks to the ladder and begins climbing. His fingers grip the metal rungs tightly, and his boots press against the uneven steps.
At the top, Max steps forward. One foot lands on a loose patch. The ladder shifts. Max loses balance and falls, rolling onto the muddy ground. His leg bends awkwardly, and dirt splashes across his clothes. He cries out, holding his leg, alone and struggling to stand.
Ms. Carter rushes over. She kneels beside him, lifts his leg carefully, and wraps it with a white bandage. “Rules are here to protect you,” she says softly. “Listening keeps you safe.”
Max looks at the mud on his hands, then at the bandage. He nods silently. Later, he sits on a bench, his bandaged leg stretched out. The big slide remains taped off. Max does not go near it again, remembering the lesson clearly.
