Once upon a time, there was a mischievous dog named Max. One day, Max found a balloon that had burst and he decided to tease his cat friend, Mittens. Max started to charge towards Mittens with the burst balloon, making a growling noise. Mittens got scared and yanked the curtains down trying to hide. But Max kept bothering Mittens, until finally Mittens had enough and sprayed Max with a water bottle. Max ran away and learned his lesson not to bother others. The end.

4. How might the story have ended differently if Mittens didn't spray Max with a water bottle?
5. What could Max have done instead of teasing Mittens?
