Characters

“Bridget!” Shania called over her shoulder. The straps of her backpack bit into her shoulders as she grabbed a tree branch to climb over a rock. “Hurry up!”

“I’m climbing as fast as I can!” Bridget shot back.Shania and her family were climbing to the top of the hill to

watch the meteor shower. They were staying in a cabin a few miles off the Appalachian Trail, which offered a beautiful view of the forest. In the daytime, the crimson and golden leaves shimmered in the sunlight. At night, however, the leaves blanketed the forest in a deep shadow, making it hard to see.

Suddenly, Shania heard a noise. “Ow!” Bridget cried out.

Characters

Shania quickly slid down the hill toward her sister. Bridget sat on a nest of leaves, massaging her ankle. Moments later her mother and father appeared. They were out of breath from running up the hill.

“I tripped over a rock,” Bridget said with a wince. “I hurt my ankle.”

Shania’s father dug a flashlight out of his backpack and turned it on. His fingers gently probed Bridget’s ankle.

“I think you just twisted it,” Shania’s father said. “Just the same, I don’t want you walking on it.”

Shania’s parents found two thick branches. They took both ends to make a small bench for Bridget to sit on. Minutes later, they were carrying Bridget up the hill just as the first meteor streaked across the sky.
