Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Spot. Spot was a very obedient dog. He always did what his owner, a kind man named Tom, told him to do. Tom and Spot loved to play together and go for walks in the park.
One day, while they were walking, Spot saw a ball. He recognized the ball as his own, and he ran after it. The ball rolled into the woods, and Spot followed it. Tom called out, "Spot, come back!" But Spot did not hear him.
After some time, Spot found the ball and picked it up. He heard Tom calling for him, so he ran back to where Tom was waiting. Tom was happy to see Spot and said, "Good boy, Spot! Thank you for finding your ball and coming back to me." Spot wagged his tail, proud of his work. From that day on, Spot always stayed close to Tom during their walks.
