1 Once upon a time there were two boys named Mike and Mark. The boys were best friends. These two friends did everything together. They rode bikes down twisty trails. They stomped and splashed in mud puddles after summer thunderstorms. They had sleepovers and campouts and told scary stories late at night. They were inseparable. One day Mike wanted to ride bikes, but Mark wanted to run races. Suddenly these best buddies were in a big fight. Both headed home angry, frustrated, and hurt.
