Once upon a time, there was a big tree in the backyard. A dog named Max loved to play with his ball and chase it around the tree. One day, while playing, Max accidentally knocked over the hose and soaked the flowers beside the fence. The flowers were so happy to be watered that they started to dance and sing. Max was so surprised that he jumped onto the swing and started to sing along. They all had so much fun that they made a band and performed concerts every weekend in the backyard. The end.

Reflections

• What do you think the dog Max was feeling when he saw the flowers dancing and singing?
• Why did the flowers start dancing and singing?
• Have you ever started a band with your friends? What kind of music would you play?
• If you were Max, what other adventures would you have in the backyard?
