Once upon a time, there was a pet dog named Max. Max loved to play and run in the park with his owner, but he hated getting a bath. One day, while playing in the park, Max got very dirty and his owner had to bring him home. She tried to feed him, but he refused to eat until he was clean. So, she decided to give him a bath. Max didn't like it, but he knew it was necessary. After the bath, she dried him off with a new towel. She then brushed him with a special dog brush, which made him feel much better. Max was so happy that he licked his owner's face and wagged his tail. From that day on, Max loved to get washed and brushed because he knew it meant that his owner loved him.
