SCENE 1: The Messy Camp

(Setting: A forest. AVA, NOAH, and SOFIA are standing by a flat tent. The sun is going down.)

AVA: Oh no! It is getting dark. Our tent is flat. We have no dinner.

NOAH: I can fix it! I will pull this rope to that tree.

SOFIA: No, Noah. The rope goes in the ground. And look! A raccoon ate our bread!

AVA: This is not fun. Our tent is broken and our food is gone.

NOAH: We need to stay calm. Sofia, where is the map?

SOFIA: I lost it. I think the wind blew it away.

SCENE 2: A Friend Helps

(RANGER MILLER walks in with a flashlight.)

RANGER MILLER: Hello, campers! Do you need help?

AVA: Yes! Everything is going wrong.

SOFIA: A raccoon took our food. We lost our map. The tent will not stand up.

RANGER MILLER: Do not be sad. You just need to work as a team. That is the best way to fix things.

SCENE 3: Making a Plan

RANGER MILLER: Noah, take this flashlight. Use these stakes to hold the tent in the ground. Can you do that?

NOAH: Yes! I can do it.

RANGER MILLER: Sofia, can you draw a new map? Do you remember what you saw?

SOFIA: Yes! I saw a big rock and a bridge. I will draw it now!

RANGER MILLER: Ava, let's put the food in this box with a lock. This keeps the animals away.

AVA: Good idea! I will do that now.

SCENE 4: A Happy Night

(The tent is up. Everything is clean.)

NOAH: Look! The tent is up. Thank you, Ranger Miller!

SOFIA: I finished my map. Now I know the way.

AVA: The food is safe. I am sorry I was upset. We are a good team.

RANGER MILLER: You did it! You worked together. That is the secret to a great trip.

NOAH: Next time, we will work together from the start!

SOFIA: And I will keep the map in my pocket.

AVA: Let’s look at the stars!
