Sam and Ben were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, they found a shiny key under their bed. They wondered what it could open.
"Maybe it is a magic key!" Sam said. "Let's try it on the door!"
They ran to the door and put the key in the lock. They turned it and heard a click. They were very happy. They opened the door and saw a big surprise.
There was a big dog outside. It was not a friendly dog. It was a mean dog. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. It wanted to bite them.
Sam and Ben were very scared. They tried to close the door, but it was too late. The dog pushed the door and jumped on them. They screamed and cried for help.
Their mom heard them and ran to their room. She saw the dog and grabbed a broom. She hit the dog and made it run away. She hugged Sam and Ben and checked if they were hurt.
She was very angry and sad. She realized that the key was not a magic key. It was the key to the neighbor's house. The neighbor had a bad dog that hated kids. She had told them to never go near her house.
She scolded Sam and Ben for being naughty and careless. She took away their toys and sent them to bed. They had no dinner and no dessert. They were miserable. They wished they had never found the key.
