Once upon a time, there was a girl named She who loved to play on the slide. But one day, she got a little too excited and ended up giving herself a big whack when she reached the bottom of the slide. She felt a bump on her head and said "Ouch!"

She looked around to see if anyone had seen her bump and saw her best friend, who had just gotten off the spinny thing nearby. She said "Sorry about that! I didn't mean to bump into you."

But her friend just chuckled and said "Don't worry about it. It's not like you meant to spin out of control on the slide and give yourself a whack!" They both laughed and ran off to play some more, having too much fun to care about bumps and bruises.
