Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big brown dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces.
"Can we pet him?" Lily asks.
"Sure, but we have to test him first," Ben says.
"How do we test him?" Lily wonders.
Ben has an idea. He picks up a stick and throws it. The dog runs after it and brings it back.
"Good boy!" Ben says. He pets the dog's head.
Lily wants to try too. She finds a ball and tosses it. The dog chases it and returns it.
"Good girl!" Lily says. She rubs the dog's belly.
The dog is happy. He likes Lily and Ben. He gives them a wink.
Lily and Ben giggle. They have a new friend. They play with the dog until it is time to go home. They wave goodbye and promise to come back soon. The dog winks again and barks. He hopes to see them again.
