Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change. Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.

When Stacey and Carlos returned to the office, Carlos eyed his notepad thoughtfully. Perhaps it was time to add variety into his predictable routine. He opened the notepad to a fresh page and began to draw an office building that reached beyond the clouds.

Read the excerpt from the story Hide and Seek.

Raj immediately shook his head side to side, and his smile was replaced with a frown. The hills on Governors Island boasted four slides, one of which was 57 feet long, New York City's longest slide. The length didn't disturb Raj, but the slide was three stories tall, and he was petrified of heights, even if the slide did have the best views of the New York skyline. Maria was fearless and wanted to go on the slide more than anything in the world, mostly because she loved experiencing new adventures. Besides, she had played at least twenty rounds of hide and seek with him. Maybe it was time to try a new adventure.

Raj reluctantly nodded his head, and Maria squealed with delight. Grabbing Raj's hand, Maria headed toward the hills, which they climbed with care until they reached the summit. Raj looked down from the top of the slide, feeling absolutely terrified. Maria didn't hesitate for even a second. She slid down as soon as she reached the top, cheering with abandon, until she reached the bottom of the slide. He took a deep breath, slid down the slide, and began to scream gleefully, amazed at how much fun he was having. For the rest of the day, Raj climbed the hill and slid down each marvelous slide four times, enjoying the rush of excitement and unparalleled views of the New York skyline.

In both texts, the characters learn about the importance of trying new things. What is different about the main character's choices in each story?

" keyn asked. tablin looked around the dirt courtyard. he tried to peer through the shadowy arches of the flowing barrel. he even twisted in his saddle to look across the merchant's bazaar, past tents and warehouses filled with goods. "i don't know," he said. "did you leave it in your mouth? it's the only place i can think of that's big enough." keyn laughed; something got stuck in his throat half way, and he coughed for breath. "i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."
