Curious George

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Kambren. Kambren loved to ride his brand new Batman bike. He was also very curious. He wanted to know if he could ride his older brother Rhees' bike. He tried it a few times & found that even though he was very small on such a big bike, he COULD ride it. He loved to ride very, very fast.

What he loved more than riding very, very fast was racing people. He would race his older sister, Ambrian. He would race his other older sister, Aybrielle. He would race the neighbors, Allie & Alisha on their scooters. He would even race the fix-it men on their motorcycles.

One day Kambren was riding Rhees' old bike which was much bigger than his own "just the right size" bike. He was racing Ambrian, & she was winning. Nearly to the house, Ambrian stopped to look behind her to see how close Kambren was to catching up. No sooner had she stopped but what Kambren came riding up behind her at top speed. He wasn't able to stop the bigger bike in time & he crashed right into her.

Up, up, up he went, & toppled over the handle bars of his bike until he landed face first onto the concrete road. He felt like Curious George. The road was not soft like the grass under the jungle gym in back of the house. His mouth hurt. His face hurt. He was very sad.

Daddy, the man with the big golf hat, had been watching the racing from the upstairs window. He had told Kambren it wasn't safe to ride the bigger bike. Daddy knew that he could get hurt more easily on the big one. But Kambren was just too curious.

Daddy rushed down the stairs, along with Mommy who heard all the commotion from the kitchen. Ambrian brought Kambren in the house. They all looked at Kambren. His mouth hurt very much. They all wondered if Kambren had any teeth left. Everyone was sad.

A few days later, when he was feeling a little better, Kambren decided to pose for a picture.

Kambren still loves to ride his "just the right size" Batman bike. He still loves to race very, very fast. But he isn't as curious anymore. He knows that bigger bikes are for bigger boys. And one day he will get to ride a bigger bike.

The end.
