Good secrets and bad secrets, sentence 1
If an adult ever says "this is our little secret, don't tell your parents", like a coach handing Ollie an old phone, that is a warning sign: tell your parents or another trusted adult straight away, and you will not be in trouble.
Who acts: adult, this, little secret, coach, that, you · What happens: say, be, not tell, hand, tell, trust · To what, where: little secret, parents, old phone, Ollie, warning sign, trouble · Speech: someone speaks here
