One day, a little boy named Tim was very enthusiastic about his new toy. It was a big, red ball with a label on it. The label had a picture of a happy dog. Tim loved to play with his new ball in the yard.
Tim's dog, Spot, saw the ball and wanted to play too. Spot ran up to the ball and said, "Woof! Can I play with you and your ball, Tim?" Tim smiled and said, "Yes, Spot! Let's play together!" They both played happily, throwing and catching the ball in the sun.
But then, Spot got too excited and bit the ball. The ball popped, and the label flew off. Tim was sad and said, "Oh no, Spot! You bit my ball!" Spot felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. I didn't mean to bite it." Tim hugged Spot and said, "It's okay, we can get a new ball and play together again!" And they continued to play in the yard, happy and full of fun.
