One day, a girl named Lily had an idea. She wanted to visit her friend Tom who lived in the house next to hers. Tom had a big dog named Max. Lily was a little scared of Max, but she wanted to be brave.
Before she went to Tom's house, Lily's mom told her to be careful. She said, "Stay away from Max if he is too big for you." Lily said, "Okay, Mom. I will be careful."
When Lily got to Tom's house, Max was in the yard. Max saw Lily and started to run to her. Lily was scared and didn't know what to do. Tom saw what was happening and ran to help Lily. He told Max to stop and Max listened. Lily was happy that Tom helped her, and they played together all day.
