The Safe Way Round

On their first visit to Hilltop Farm, Maya and her cousin Ben followed the main footpath towards the _____. Overnight wind had blown an _____ across its gate, and broken branches hung above it. Ben wanted to squeeze underneath, but Maya stopped him. They stepped back and told Mrs Reed, the _____, about the danger.

Mrs Reed explained that a marked side path also reached the orchard. Its blue sign pointed around the stable, safely away from the fallen tree. The children took this route while the farmer closed the main footpath and called a tree surgeon. Beyond the stable, they found the orchard gate open and delivered feed to the hens. Later, Mrs Reed thanked them for reporting the oak rather than climbing past it.
