Once upon a time, there was a playful dog named Toby. He loved to run and play in the big yard near his home. One day, while playing, Toby saw a hedge. It was big and green. Toby thought it was fun to hide behind the hedge and jump out to surprise his friends.
One sunny day, Toby was playing by the hedge again. He saw his friend, a little bird, flying by. Toby wanted to surprise the bird, so he hid behind the hedge. When the bird came close, Toby jumped out with a big smile. But instead of laughing, the bird got scared and flew away. Toby was sad.
Toby thought about what happened and decided to turn into a kind dog. The next time he saw his friends, he didn't jump out to surprise them. Instead, he greeted them with a wagging tail and a friendly smile. His friends were happy, and they played together all day long. Toby learned that being kind is better than scaring others, and everyone had more fun together.
