Verb and Adverb

Here is a story I wrote about two characterized parts of speech. They can only say thing from their word group.

One day, Verb and Adverb went for a walk. Verb tried to strike up a conversation.
"Talk?" he said.
Adverb said, "Quietly."
Verb said, "Running?"
Adverb said, "Crazily."
With that, Adverb tripped and fell into a river and swam away.
"Swim!" said Verb, but it was too late...

One month later...

Adverb washed up on the shores of a beach.
He said, "Tiredly..." and collapsed.
