The path was filled with mud. But that did not stop Ridge, Gem, or me. We rode up and down the hill. Then we made it a race.

2

So what did I do? I sped down the hill. But I did not see a huge, wide hole. Then I fell. Yikes!

3

I had to go to Doc Chen. My mom, Gem, and Ridge were with me.

4

Doc Chen checked my leg. Then she left.

5

Doc Chen came back in. She had a scan of my skeleton and my spine. My spine is fine but I did break my leg!

6

Then Doc Chen put a cast on my leg.

7

My cast will keep my bones safe and in place.

8

I will have to use crutches when I walk.

9

We went home. I had to sit and rest. That made me sad.

10

Mom, Ridge, and Gem wrote their names on my cast. That made me smile.

11

Ridge and Gem helped me get to class.

12

The kids made cute faces on my cast.

13

Time passed. I got used to my crutches. I went fast!

14

Then I went to see Doc Chen. It was time to take off my cast!

15

Now I have no cast on my leg! My leg will get well fast! Then I can ride my bike and win a race!
