However, they were told never to go beyond the willow valley where the creek curved. Why couldn't they go there? Why might that place be dangerous? What might happen if the girls explored that part of the creek. Why to parents give us boundaries about places we are allowed to go on our own? Tell about a boundery that your parents have given you.
