Lily and Tom were playing with a hoop in the park. They liked to roll the hoop and run after it. Sometimes they threw the hoop in the air and tried to catch it.
A big dog saw them and wanted to play too. He ran towards them and barked. Lily and Tom were scared of the dog. They did not know if he was friendly or mean.
"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. He picked up the hoop and threw it at the dog. The dog dodged the hoop and jumped on Tom. He bit Tom's arm and made him cry.
Lily wanted to save Tom. She ran to him and tried to pull the dog away. But the dog was too strong and angry. He bit Lily's leg and made her cry too.
No one heard their cries. No one came to help them. The dog did not stop biting them. Lily and Tom were hurt and sad. They wished they had not played with the hoop. They wished they had stayed home.
