A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALK

CHAPTER 1
I'm walking down the street, and there's a hole in the sidewalk.
I don't see the hole, so I fall in.
It takes me a long time and hard work,
but eventually I get out of the hole.

CHAPTER 2
I'm walking down he street, and there's a hole in the sidewalk.
I see the hole, but I fall in anyway.
It takes me a long time and a lot of hard work,
but I've been here before, and eventually I get out.

CHAPTER 3
I'm walking down the street, and there's a hole in the sidewalk.
I see the hole, but I figure I can safely go around it.
I try. I fall in.
It takes me some time and some effort.
But I've been here before, and I know how to get out, and I do get out.

CHAPTER 4
I'm walking down the street, and there's a hole in the sidewalk.
I see the hole, and I don't want to fall in.
I cross the street.
But then I see some people I know back on the other side, an I decide to join them.
I fall into the hole.
I'm tired of this. I waste no time getting out of the hole.

CHAPTER 5
I'm walking down the street, and there's a hole in the sidewalk.
I see the hole.
I stop.
I walk down another street.
