The New Scooter

Matt put on his helmet. He stepped onto his new scooter. The red metal

shone in the sun. Matt rode his scooter around the park. The scooter moved

really fast. Matt smiled. He loved his new scooter!

Matt's friend Evan ran up. "Matt, can I ride your scooter?" Evan asked.

"No way," Matt said. "It's new. I don't want to share it." Matt rode his scooter

some more. Then he got bored. He looked around the park. Evan was

playing with a toy plane. "Hey Evan," Matt said. "Can I try your plane?"

"Sure," Evan said. He handed the plane to Matt.

Matt suddenly felt bad. He did not share his scooter with Evan. But Evan

shared his plane with Matt.

"Sorry I didn't share my scooter before," Matt said.

"No problem," Evan said. "Come on, let's try the plane."
