Up and Down

Zuri and Yusuf ran to the seesaw. Zuri sat on one end. Yusuf jumped on the other end.

"Push with your feet!" Zuri called. Yusuf pushed, and up he went. Then Zuri pushed. Bump! Yusuf landed on the ground. The two friends laughed and laughed.

Soon a little boy came by. He was waiting for a turn. "We can help you," said Yusuf. The friends helped him get on. Now Zuri and the little boy are playing, and Yusuf is cheering!
