Ouch! My Head Hurts!
By Jennifer Kenny
  

1     Josh and his dad were outside. It was a nice day. They felt like taking a walk. They went around the block. They got to the stream.
 
2     Josh saw a frog. He chased it. One minute he almost had him. The next minute he slipped on a wet rock. He fell and hit his head.
 
3     Josh's dad got to him right away. Josh was hurt.
 
4     "Josh!" Dad yelled. "Josh!"
 
5     It seemed like a long time before Josh could say something. "Is that you, Dad?" Josh asked.
 
6     "Yes!" Dad said. Slowly, Dad helped Josh stand up. He had a huge bump on his head. Josh was dizzy. Dad took him home. He got him ice. They went to the doctor right away.
 
7     The doctor saw Josh right away. She asked Josh, "What day of the week is it?"
 
8     "Sunday," Josh said.
 
9     "What did you do right after you fell?" the doctor asked.
 
10     "I don't know," Josh said. He cried.
