Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Max who lived in a house with a big backyard. In the backyard, there was a tall fence that surrounded it, but Max loved to play inside and explore. One day, while he was playing with his ball, he saw a beautiful flower growing near a tree. He ran towards the flower, but as he got close, he tripped on the hose that was lying on the ground. The ball flew into the air and landed on the swing. Max was sad because he couldn't reach the ball. But then he had an idea! He climbed up the tree and jumped from branch to branch until he finally reached the swing. He grabbed his ball and happily ran back to the flower to continue playing. From that day on, Max never forgot to be careful where he stepped and always had a great time in his backyard.
