One day, a big dog named Max was playing in the park. He saw a thick stick and picked it up with his mouth. Max was very happy and wanted to show his friends. As he walked, he found a cross on the ground. Max was curious and put the stick on the cross.
Suddenly, the stick began to shrink! Max was very surprised. The stick became smaller and smaller until it was too small for Max to play with. Max was sad, but he kept walking and looking for a new stick.
As Max walked, he saw a tiny dog with the same small stick. The tiny dog was so happy to find a stick that was just the right size for him. Max felt happy for the tiny dog and realized that the unexpected shrinking of the stick was a good thing after all. Max and the tiny dog became best friends and played together in the park every day.
