Once upon a time, there was a dependable dog named Max. Max liked to eat minerals that he found in the ground. One day, Max found a big, shiny mineral. He was very happy.
Max wanted to keep his shiny mineral safe, so he put it in a little box. He shut the box tight, so no one could take it. Max carried the box everywhere he went. He loved his shiny mineral very much.
One day, Max met a little girl named Lisa. Lisa was sad because she lost her toy. Max wanted to help Lisa. He gave her his shiny mineral from the box. Lisa was very happy, and they became best friends. Max knew that being a good friend was more important than keeping the shiny mineral all to himself.
