Read together

Once upon a time, there was a dog named Max who lived in a small village. Max loved to play and run around with his friends, a mouse named Jerry, a hamster named Teddy, and a bird named Tweety. One day, while they were playing in the park, they noticed a spider hanging from a tree.

Max was scared of spiders and wanted to run away, but Jerry, Teddy, and Tweety were curious and wanted to get a closer look. They approached the spider and saw that it was trying to spin a web, but it was having trouble.

The friends decided to help the spider and worked together to spin a strong and beautiful web. The spider was so grateful and thanked them for their help.

From that day on, Max, Jerry, Teddy, and Tweety were no longer afraid of spiders and learned that even creatures that look scary can be kind and friendly. They all continued to play and have adventures in the park, always helping each other out whenever they needed it.

The end.
