Once there was a little girl named Alice. Alice loved to spend her days with her grandma and her grandpa. 

Alice and her grandma loved to go on hikes, picnics, play with the dogs, and more while grandpa went to work.

One day grandma fell while Alice and her were walking home. 

Alice cried out for her grandpa, "Please help! Grandma fell!" 

Grandpa ran up to where the girls were. He helped Grandma get up. They decided to take her to the doctor.

The next day, Grandma came home from the doctor very sad. She told Alice she wasn't going to be able to go do play with as much.

"Why Grandma? You love to go play with me outside." 

Grandma nodded, "I know sweetie. I wish I still could but my doctor said I can't."

"But why can't you?" Alice asks. 

"I have arthritis sweetie. Do you know what that is?"

"No, what is it?

"Here, let's head inside. I'll tell you once I get to sit down." Grandma says. 

Grandpa and Grandma explain to Alice that arthritis is when Grandma's body hurts, especially her joints. 

"Sometimes my body feels real tired and stiff. I still want to play though, I just have to be careful." Grandma reassures Alice. 

"Did I cause it Grandma? Why did this happen?"

"No silly, it isn't your fault. I am just getting older. I will have to take care of myself by taking some medications and hydrotherapy." Grandma gives Alice a kiss on the forehead. "We will find other things we like to do besides going outside."
