One day, Tom and his dog, Spot, were playing outside. Tom saw a ball on the roof. Tom said, "Oh no! How can we get the ball down?" Spot looked up and wagged his tail.
Tom's mom came out and saw them looking at the roof. "What's wrong?" she asked. Tom told her about the ball. His mom said, "I will mention it to your dad when he comes home. He can help you get it down."
Tom and Spot played with other toys until dad came home. When dad heard about the ball, he got a long stick. He used the stick to get the ball off the roof. Tom was so happy that the stick was fit to reach the ball.
Tom said, "Thank you, dad!" and gave him a big hug. Now, Tom and Spot could play with the ball again. They played until the sun went down and had a lot of fun.
