Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Sparky who loved to play in the park. One day, he came across a heavy rock and decided to lift it up. But, oh no! He couldn't do it.
Sparky then saw a stick lying nearby and had an idea. He used the stick to lever the rock, but it was still too heavy. Suddenly, a log floated by and Sparky had a brilliant thought. He used the light log as a fulcrum and the heavy rock lifted easily!
From that day on, Sparky became known as the smartest dog in the park and always used his creativity to solve problems. The end.
