1 Josh and his dad were outside. It was a nice day. They felt like taking a walk. They went around the block. They got to the stream.
2 Josh saw a frog. He chased it. One minute he almost had it. The next minute he slipped on a wet rock. He fell and hit his head.
3 Josh's dad got to him right away. Josh was hurt.
4 "Josh!" Dad yelled. "Josh!"
5 It seemed like a long time before Josh could say something. "Is that you, Dad?" Josh asked.
6 "Yes!" Dad said. Slowly, Dad helped Josh stand up. He had a huge bump on his head. Josh was dizzy. Dad took him home. They put an ice pack on Josh's head. They went to the doctor right away.
7 The doctor saw Josh right away. She asked Josh, "What day of the week is it?"
8 "Sunday," Josh said.
9 "What did you do right after you fell?" the doctor asked.
10 "I don't know," Josh said. He cried.
11 "Don't cry," Dad said.
12 "It's OK," the doctor said. "It's because of the fall. I think you have a
concussion."
