Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. They think it is a house.
"Let's go inside the house!" Lily says.
"OK!" Tom says.
They crawl inside the box. It is dark and cozy. They pretend they are in a castle.
"I am the king!" Tom says.
"I am the queen!" Lily says.
They have fun in the box. They watch the birds and the clouds through a hole. They sing and laugh.
But then, a big dog comes. It sees the box. It thinks it is a toy. It runs to the box. It barks and bites the box.
"Help!" Lily and Tom scream.
They are scared. The box shakes and tears. The dog is strong and angry.
"Go away, dog!" Lily and Tom shout.
They try to get out of the box. But the hole is too small. They do not fit. They are stuck.
"Help!" Lily and Tom scream again.
They hope someone will hear them. They hope someone will save them. They hope the dog will leave them alone. They do not like the box anymore. They want to go home.
