Read together
Parent: The sky is dark early. The road can be dangerous after rain.
Child: Is there real danger, or are you worried?
Parent: Both. Cars move fast. I do not want you near the deep ditch.
Child: Can we still go out later today?
Parent: Decide with me. We can decrease screen time and dance in the hall instead.
Child: Dance! That sounds better than a dark walk.
Parent: Good decision. Your sister — my daughter — can join when she finishes homework.
Child: No deer on the road tonight either. Home is safer.
Parent: Exactly. Stay inside, stay bright, and leave the dangerous dark for another day.
