They were seeing who could bounce the highest.
Jimmy bounced so high, he hit his head on a branch of a tree.
Lucy said, "Are you all right Jimmy?"
"Yes," said Jimmy, "My head hurts though."
When Jimmy took his hand down from his head, his hand was covered in blood.
"Mum, mum. Jimmy has been hurt."
"Oh my goodness," said Lucy's mum, "We'd better call the ambulance."
It wasn't long before they heard the ambulance come driving down the street with its siren wailing.
The ambulance officers were just putting a bandage on Jimmy's head when they saw something orange and green with purple spots in the cut on his head. With forceps they pulled out an orange and green bug with purple spots on it.
"Wow. That bug looks serious. We'd better take him in a specimen jar to the hospital."
"Lucy can you run next door and tell Jimmy's mum that he has to go to hospital?"
Lucy ran up to the door and knocked but no one came to the door. All she could hear was someone snoring. "Wake up Jimmy's mum. He has to go to hospital."
Lucy came and told the ambulance officers and they said, "You'd better come in the ambulance with Jimmy then."
When Jimmy was wheeled into the hospital, the doctor said, "My goodness Jimmy, your cut has healed already. How did that happen?"
Lucy said, "Maybe it was the orange and green bug with purple spots."
"You could be right," said the doctor, "We'd better do some research."
They put the bug in it's own insect home in the hospital so it could help heal other cuts on patients.
When Jimmy's mum arrived at the hospital she took both Jimmy and Lucy home.
The next day they moved the trampoline so that no one would hit their head on the tree when they were jumping high.
