Old short story about a slide
This is a long shot. Even chat GPT can't figure it out. Sometime around 2003-2005 in the 4th or 5th grade we were read a short story that was surprisingly spooky. It was about a kid that was at the top of a slide, at the bottom of the slide was a mysterious hole that he would fall into. The story ends with the kids pushing off to go down the slide. We dont find out what happens to him. Its been bugging me for years! GPT seems to think its not a chicken soup for the soul story, but more likely a story inside a text book. I dont know why this particular story stands out. Anyone have any idea? I seem to remember it just being called "the slide"
