One day, a little dog named Spot was playing in the park. Spot liked to run, jump, and play with his ball. He was very happy.
Suddenly, Spot saw a big cat. The cat looked very serious. Spot wanted to play with the cat, so he ran up to her and said, "Hi, cat! Do you want to play with me and my ball?"
The serious cat looked at Spot and said, "Stop! I do not want to play. I am too serious for play." Spot was sad, but he did not give up. He thought if he could make the cat laugh, then maybe she would want to play.
Spot started to dance and make funny faces. The serious cat watched him and soon, she started to smile. Then, she laughed and said, "Okay, Spot, let's play together!" They played all day in the park, and the serious cat learned that it was fun to play and be happy.
