Write a story about an accident you had, or one you have heard about, and draw pictures to go with it.

Okay, I can help you with that. Here is a sample story about an accident:

My Bike Accident

It was a sunny Saturday morning. I was so excited to try out my new bike! My parents had given it to me for my birthday, and it was bright red with shiny silver handlebars. I couldn't wait to ride it to the park to meet my friends.

I put on my helmet (of course!) and started pedaling down the street. Everything was going great! The wind was in my hair, and I was feeling super speedy. I decided to try a little trick I had seen on TV – riding with no hands!

That's when things went wrong. As soon as I took my hands off the handlebars, the bike started wobbling. I tried to grab them again, but it was too late! The bike swerved, and I tumbled off onto the sidewalk. Ouch!

I landed with a thump, scraping my knee and elbow. My bike clattered to the ground beside me. I sat there for a moment, stunned and a little bit embarrassed. A nice lady who was walking her dog came over to help me up.

My knee was bleeding a little, but it wasn't too bad. The nice lady helped me walk my bike back home. My mom cleaned up my scrapes and put on a bandage. She said I was lucky it wasn't worse!

I learned a very important lesson that day: always keep your hands on the handlebars and don't try tricks unless you're really good at them! And even though my knee hurt, I was mostly sad that my brand new bike had a scratch on it. But, most importantly, I was grateful that I was wearing my helmet!

Possible Picture Ideas:

• A picture of me on my new bike, looking happy.
• A picture of me falling off the bike.
• A picture of my scraped knee and elbow.
• A picture of my bike with a scratch on it.
