One day, a wise old cat named Tom found a pretty tie. The tie was red and blue. Tom wanted to wear the tie, but he did not know how to put it on. 
Tom went to his friend, a big dog named Max. Tom said, "Max, can you help me put on this tie?" Max looked at the tie and said, "I can help you, but you need to pay me with a toy."
Tom went home and found a toy to give to Max. He gave Max the toy, and Max helped Tom put on the tie. They were both happy.
Now, Tom wore the tie everywhere he went. All the other animals saw how nice the tie looked on Tom. They all wanted a tie too. The wise old cat Tom and his friend Max helped everyone get a tie.
