Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Spot. Spot loved to play outside in the sun. One day, he saw a big hose in the yard. Spot wanted to play with the hose, but he was frightened. He decided to hide behind a tree and watch the hose.
As Spot watched the hose, he saw a little bird fly over to it. The bird was not frightened. It played with the hose and had lots of fun. Spot saw that the hose was not scary at all. He came out from behind the tree and started to play with the hose too.
Spot and the bird played with the hose all day. They splashed in the water and had a great time. Spot learned that he should not be frightened of new things. He should be brave and try them. This made Spot a very happy dog.
