Once upon a time, there was a hamster named Harry. He lived in a cage with a wheel to run on, a tube to crawl through and a cozy nest to sleep in. One day, Harry found a ball and decided to take it home. On the way, he saw a bowl of water and stopped to drink. But when he tried to pick up the ball again, it rolled away! Harry chased after it and finally caught it, but he was very far from home.

He saw a big tree with a hole in it and thought it would be a great place to rest. Harry crawled into the tree and found a delicious feast of food waiting for him! He ate until he was full and then fell asleep. When he woke up, he realized he had no idea how to get back home. But then he remembered the tube in his cage and the idea of crawling through it came to mind. Harry followed the tube all the way back to his cage and was so happy to be back home! From then on, he made sure to never wander too far from his cage and always have a backup plan in case he got lost again.
