Ben and Tim are good friends. They used to be very active together. They walked everywhere. They played games outdoors. But now Ben worries about Tim. Tim is not active any more. He has some bad habits. He watched too much TV and plays too many computer games. And he is putting on weight.
Ben sends his friend a poem:
You can be a couch potato and watch TV all day.
But don’t do that. There is another way!
Move your body, get out and have fun.
Fresh air, a bike ride, playing in the sun!
Tim arrives home from school. There is a letter at his front door. It’s Ben’s poem! He reads the poem and he smiles. He writes a poem back to his friend:
Your poem is funny, but I feel really lucky.
With a true friend on my side, my world will be open wide.
Let’s meet tomorrow at his six o’clock, and we can go for a good walk.
