Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They make sand castles, swing on the swings, and slide on the slide. They have a lot of fun.
One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is playful. He runs to them and wags his tail. He wants to play with them.
"Hi, doggy!" Lily says. "What is your name?"
The dog barks. He licks Lily's face. He makes her giggle.
"Can we play with you, doggy?" Tom asks. "You are so nice and fluffy."
The dog barks again. He nods his head. He makes them happy.
Lily and Tom play with the dog. They throw a ball for him, and he fetches it. They rub his belly, and he rolls over. They hug him, and he snuggles with them. They have more fun.
The dog's owner comes to the park. He sees Lily and Tom playing with his dog. He smiles.
"Hello, kids," he says. "You are very kind to my dog. His name is Max. He likes you a lot."
"Hello, sir," Lily and Tom say. "We like Max a lot, too. He is very playful. He makes our day."
The owner lets Lily and Tom pet Max one more time. Then he puts a leash on him and says goodbye.
"Bye, Max," Lily and Tom say. "We hope to see you again."
"Bye, kids," Max barks. "You are very good friends."
Lily and Tom wave to Max and his owner. They are sad to see them go, but they are glad they met them. They made their day playful and fun.
