Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.
One day, they see a dog in the park. The dog has a patch on his eye. He looks sad. Lila and Ben want to pet the dog. They go near him.
But the dog does not like them. He barks and growls. He shows his teeth. He tries to bite them. Lila and Ben are scared. They run away.
The dog chases them. He is fast and lively. He thinks they are teasing him. He wants to catch them. He does not know they are nice.
Lila and Ben run to the fence. They climb over it. They are safe. The dog stops. He cannot go over the fence. He is angry. He barks louder.
Lila and Ben look at the dog. They feel sorry for him. They think he is lonely. They wish they could be his friends. They wave at him. They say, "We are sorry, dog. We did not tease you. We like you. Maybe we can play another day."
