Once upon a time, there was a curious little dog named Max. Max loved to play outside on the ground. One day, Max saw a big red ball in his yard.
Max wanted to play with the ball, so he ran to it and tried to pick it up. But when he tried, the ball would leave the ground and bounce away. Max kept trying, but the ball kept bouncing away.
Finally, Max jumped really high and caught the ball in his mouth. He was so happy! Max played with the big red ball all day long. And from that day on, Max and the big red ball were best friends.
