Once upon a time, there was a little brother named Brown who lived near a bright, shiny bridge. One day, Brown decided to build a fort under the bridge with his brother. They collected sticks and branches to build their fort.

As they were building, Brown noticed that the sun was starting to set, and the sky was turning orange and red. He realized they needed to hurry and finish building before it got dark.

Just as they were putting the final touches on their fort, Brown noticed a spark near some dry leaves. He quickly realized that the spark was a small flame, and the leaves were starting to burn!

Brown's brother was scared, but Brown knew what to do. He ran to get his brush and started to brush away the leaves, trying to put out the fire. But the fire was spreading quickly, and they needed help.

Brown remembered that his mother told him to always bring someone if he was going to play near the fire. So, he ran to get his mother, and together they were able to put out the fire before it spread too far.

From then on, Brown and his brother made sure to be extra careful when playing near the fire, and they always brought someone with them to help keep them safe. And every time they crossed the bright, shiny bridge, they remembered the exciting adventure they had building their fort and fighting the fire.

The end.
