Cornelia and Flavia often walk in the garden. If the day is hot, they walk out of the garden into the forest because there is a cold river. In the summer the boys also often wander in the forest.

Today, because the day is hot, the girls sit under a tree near the river. While they sit there, Flavia says,"Why does Marcus not want to climb trees? Is he a cowardly boy?"

"No!" Cornelia replies. "Why do you not like Marcus? Marcus is neither cowardly nor reckless."

Then Flavia says,"But Marcus is always worried. Nothing scares Sextus."

Suddenly they catch sight of a wolf who is stealthily coming down to the river. The girls are terrified. Immediately they shout,"Marcus! Sextus! Help! Help!"

The boys, when they hear the shouts, immediately run to the girls. The wolf now catches sight of them. Then Sextus, because the wolf scares him, seeks a tree and immediately climbs it. But Marcus grabs a branch and drives off the wolf. The girls run out of the forest and safely reach the country house . Soon, when Marcus arrives, they welcome him happily. Sextus, the cowardly boy, still sits terrified in the tree. He is afraid to climb down.
