Once upon a time, there was a dog named Max who loved to play with his toy drum. One day, while exploring the dry wilderness, Max stumbled upon a digger uncovering bones of a dinosaur. Intrigued, Max followed the digger to a nearby lake where he met a family of ducks and ducklings. Just then, a herd of deer approached the lake to quench their thirst. Max joined in the fun and they all played together until the sun set. The end.

Reflections

• What does Max like to play with?
• Where does Max find the dinosaur bones?
• Who does Max meet at the lake?
• What happens when the deer come to the lake?
• How does the story end?
