"I bet I can hit this ball past the tall cliffs. Then, I can fetch it!" said Ralph.

Ralph swung the stick and hit the ball with a big thud.

The ball went up, but fell back on the grass.

Ralph got the ball. He picked up the stick and smashed the ball.

The ball went up and buzzed past the big elm. Then, it hit a branch and fell. The ball was stuck in one of the branches!

Ralph was sad that he lost the ball.

He went to sit next to the elm and rest. "I wish I had the ball," he said.

Then, Ralph felt the branches of the elm swish. He looked up. A chimp was hanging from the top branches.

"Hi!" said Ralph to the chimp. "The ball is stuck up there. Can you help me?" he asked.

"Yes!" said the chimp as he swung to the next branch to grab the ball. Then, he tossed it to Ralph.

Ralph was glad to have his ball back, but he still wished he could fetch it.

"Hit the ball back to me!" said the chimp. Ralph used the stick to hit the ball back to the chimp.

Then, the chimp tossed the ball. "Fetch!" he yelled. With a big grin, Ralph ran to fetch the ball!
