Ben stopped, hiding in the brush, panting like a dog out of breath. It had all been a terrible mistake. He had been with his friend, Jeremiah, helping him herd up the sheep. They had been friends since they were small children playing in the fields. They had always shared chores and jobs, as well as the fun things. So, when the sheep had begun to graze too close to the cliff, Jeremiah had tried to get between them and the steep fall, but the sheep continued to crowd and caused his friend to stumble, falling from the steep precipice. Ben rushed to the edge, peering over to see his best friend and, yes, there he was, hanging by one hand from a sharp rock that jutted out from the wall. He must have grazed his head against the rock before catching it because he was bleeding from his forehead. Ben quickly fell to his stomach reaching, grasping to try to help his friend. He was only an arm’s length away from his reach and so Ben quickly ran to get a branch to bridge the gap between his hand and that of his friend. But just as he returned to the cliff, his friend cried out, “I can’t hold on!” and his hand slipped from the rock, letting him fall to his death. Ben could see his broken, mangled body as it landed on the rocky, jagged landing at the bottom.
