Cornelia and Flavia often walk in the garden.  If the day is warm, they walk out of the garden into the woods because there is a cold river there.  The boys also often wander in the same woods.  Today, because the day is warm, the girls sit under a tree near the river. While they sit there, Flavia says, “Why doesn’t Marcus want to climb the trees?  Is he a cowardly boy?”  “Not so much!” Cornelia responds.  “Why don’t you like Marcus?  Marcus is neither cowardly nor reckless.”  Then Flavia says, “But Marcus is always annoying.  Nothing scares Sextus.”  Suddenly, they see a wolf who comes down to the river.  The girls are terrified.  Immediately, they scream, “Marcus!  Sextus!  Bring Help!  Bring Help!”  When the boys hear the scream, they immediately run toward the girls.  The wolf sees them now.  Then, Sextus, because he is scared of the wolf, looks for a tree and immediately climbs one.  But Marcus grabs a branch and drives off the wolf.  The girls run out of the woods and arrive at the safe country house.  Soon, when Marcus arrives, they welcome him happily.  Sextus, a cowardly boy, still sits terrified in the tree.  He is afraid to come down.
