One day, a little girl named Mia went out to play. She wandered far away from her home. The sun went down and it got dark. Mia was lost and scared. She thought about her gentle puppy, Max, and wished he was with her.
Mia saw a big tree and sat under it. She started to cry. A little boy named Tim heard Mia and came to help her. "Why are you crying?" Tim asked. Mia said, "I wandered away from my home and now I am lost. I had a nightmare about being alone in the dark."
Tim said, "Don't worry, Mia. I will help you find your home." They walked together, hand in hand. Soon, they saw Mia's house. Mia was so happy! She thanked Tim and gave him a big hug. They became good friends and never wandered too far from home again.
