Chapter 4 Translation

Sextus is a troublesome boy who always annoys Cornelia. Cornelia therefore does not like Sextus. Today Cornelia sleeps under a tree. Sextus catches sight of the girl and stealthily approaches. He climbs the tree and shouts in a big but loud voice. Cornelia hears the voice but does not see Sextus. The loud voice frightens Cornelia. She is worried. At that moment Marcus runs to the tree. Marcus catches sight of the troublesome boy and shouts "Come down Sextus!" Sextus shouts "Marcus why dont you climb the tree? Nothing frightens me. What frightens you?" "Be careful Sextus!" Marcus shouts. "The branches are weak." Suddenly Marcus and Cornelia hear a loud crash; Sextus falls out of the tree. Marcus and Cornelia laugh, but Sextus does not laugh.
