Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Lived a young boy who loved to play,
He ran and jumped, just like you,
But sometimes accidents happen too.

One day, he tripped and fell,
His ankle hurt and he didn't feel well,
His parents took him to the hospital fast,
In an ambulance, they went at last.

At the hospital, the doctors and nurses were kind,
They knew just what to do to ease his mind,
They took an x-ray to check his ankle bone,
And made sure he wasn't alone.

The boy felt better with each passing day,
He knew he would be back to play,
But he learned a lesson, that accidents can happen any time,
And it's important to stay safe, healthy and fine.

So, if you're playing and having fun,
Remember to be careful, everyone,
And if you get hurt, don't feel blue,
Just go to the hospital, they'll take care of you.
