Jack lived in a cozy little cottage at the bottom of a big, grassy hill. He loved to run and jump and play all day long. Outside his red door, tall sunflowers and red tomatoes grew in a friendly garden.
One warm, sunny morning, Jack heard a knock. It was his friend Jill! "Let's go up the hill!" said Jill. She pointed to the very top. "The old well has water for our sunflowers!"
Up, up, up they went! Jack skipped fast. Jill looked at everything. Yellow flowers! Purple flowers! Pink flowers! The soft dirt path went up and up through the green grass.
They made it to the top! The old well was made of round gray stones. Jack grabbed a wooden bucket on a rope. Splash! Cold water filled it up. "I will carry it!" said Jack. "I am fast!"
Jack ran down the hill. Too fast! His foot caught a bumpy rock. Trip! Tumble! Bump! Down he went, rolling through the grass. The water spilled everywhere. Jack sat up and looked at his knee. It was red and sore.
Jack's eyes got watery. His lip wobbled. "It hurts," he said in a small voice. He tried not to cry. Jill sat down right next to him in the soft grass. "It is okay to cry," said Jill. "Crying helps the hurt come out."
So Jack cried a little. Jill stayed right there. She did not leave. She did not rush. She just sat with him. After a bit, Jack took a big, deep breath. In through his nose. Out through his mouth. He felt a little better.
"Can we try again?" asked Jack. "Yes!" said Jill. "But this time, let's walk slowly. And hold hands so we do not fall." Jack smiled. Slow sounded good. They walked back up the hill, step by step.
Going slow was fun! They found puddles from the spilled water. Splish, splash! They peeked at a fuzzy caterpillar on a leaf. "Hello, little bug!" said Jack. They found a shiny red ladybug too.
At the top, they filled the wooden bucket again. Splash! This time, a little mist floated up from the well. And inside the mist — a tiny rainbow! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. "Look!" whispered Jill. "Magic!"
They walked down slowly, holding hands, one step at a time. The water stayed safe in the bucket! At the bottom, they poured the cool water on their sunflower garden. Glug, glug, glug! The sunflowers seemed to dance and say thank you.
Jack looked at the tall sunflowers. Then he looked up the big hill. "Jill?" he said. "Do you think the sunflowers will be even taller tomorrow?" Jill smiled. "I think so. And tomorrow, we can climb the hill again." Jack wiggled with excitement. He could not wait.
