Let's
pretend that your mom has said you can cross the street in front
of your house to go play with your friend. Mom is
going to tell you the directions for crossing the street.
She says:
1. First, stop at the end of the driveway.
2.
Then, look to your left and then to your
right to see if any cars are coming.
3.
If there are any cars coming, STOP! Do not cross the street!
4.
If there are no cars coming, you may quickly cross the
street and walk up to your friend's house.
If you listen carefully and follow the directions on how to cross
the street by yourself, you will be able to play with your friend.
If you don't listen carefully or don't follow the directions, you
may get hit by a car. That would be a terrible thing to
happen. This is one reason why is it important to listen
carefully to hear all of the directions.
