A Dog's Tale

A Dog's Tale

Best Friends Once, a long time ago, cats and dogs were best friends. They lived together in small communities in perfect harmony. They worked together to get food and had fun playing with each other. They also kept each other warm during cold winter nights.

When cats and dogs were friends, they helped each other in times of need. One time a cat at a riverbank was trying to catch a fish for lunch. All of a sudden, SPLASH! The cat fell into the water. As soon as the cat said “ meow, " a big, friendly dog jumped into the river and rescued the cat.

Another time, a dog was trying to catch a mouse. No matter how hard the dog tried, the mouse managed to stay ahead. The dog asked a cat for help. As soon as the dog said “ woof woof, " a cat came to help. Cats and dogs made a great team!

Spring Party One year, the days started becoming warmer and longer. A cat decided to throw a big party to celebrate the arrival of spring. This cat invited all of its friends-cats and dogs--to the big celebration. Hundreds of cats and dogs gathered at the top of a hill under a full moon.

The cats and dogs were happy and ready to eat, dance, and enjoy the party. There was food and music, and everyone was in a great mood. Out of nowhere, just before the dancing began, a storm cloud covered the moon. Then it started to rain.
