yt mm riwutj r 09 uu mary waved to a man as he crossed the school yard to the swings where she sat it was a sunny spring afternoon and she had been waiting for her father tc pick her up from school like she usually did at this time hi uncle max she said what are you doing here your mother asked me to pick you up uncle max said with a grin she had some shopping to do mary smiled at her favourite uncle she and uncle max always had such fun when he came to visit and he could always be counted on to lose at old makf when he played with her im all ready to go uncle max all i need is the secret code mom told mel cant leave school with anyone unless they know it uncle max looked thoughtful i dont remember any secret code what is it i cant tell you you have to tell me mary giggled why said uncle max dont you know it of course i know it mary said secret code is something that only parents and i know the way it works is that if my parents need someone else to pick me up they will tell that person what the code is when that person comes and tells me the right code i know that my parents have sent them and it is all right to go with them uncle max frowned but you know me mary im not a stranger maybe your mother forgot to tell me the code mary kicked at the dirt under the swing with her sneaker she wrapped her arms around the chains of the swing and said in a small voice well all i know is mom said i wasnt to go with anyone not even people i know unless they can tell me the code she looked up hopefully youre going to have to phone her i guess and get the code otherwise ive got to tell my teacher shell know what to do mary was starting to get worried are you sure you dont know the code uncle max a big smile came over the mans face yes i know the code i was testing you to see if you knew what to do your mother was worried that you might not understand how important it is that you only go with people who know the code even if you know that person but you still havent told me the secret code unc uncle max whispered in her ear the pink panther wears biue socks mary smiled thats right now i can go with you do you have a secret code it can be anything you like make sure that you and your parents know and remember what your code is never go with anyone who doesnt know the code remember your code is a secret so never tell it to anyone else having and using your own secret code can protect you from people who might want to hurt you the safest- thing to do is always ask for your code before you go with anyone and never go with anyone who doesnt know the code uncle max wasnt a stranger but mary knew he had to tell her the code before she could go with him what could mary do if her uncle didnt know the code try to think of as many different ways that someone may try to get you to come with them what should you do ask your parents or teachers for help with solutions what if someone is trying to pick up a friend somerset est 1974 for a quality private school
