Harvey Plays Safely at the Playground

I love the playground.

There are slides and swings and places to climb. Sometimes I get so excited that my paws want to go faster than my brain. One day, I ran toward the slide without looking—and almost bumped into another kid climbing up.

I stopped just in time.

I remembered the playground rules: take turns, watch where you’re going, and stay where the grown-ups can see you. I waited my turn and checked to make sure the slide was clear before I went down.

Playing safely didn’t make the playground less fun. It made it better. Everyone stayed happy, and no one got hurt.

That night, I felt proud. I learned that being careful helps everyone enjoy playtime—even me.
