Once upon a time, there was a small dog named Max. Max was deaf, but he was still very happy. He loved to play in the rain. One day, Max hurt his paw while playing in the rain. His paw was red and it hurt a lot.
Max's friend, a big cat named Tom, saw Max's hurt paw. Tom said, "Max, your paw looks bad. Let me help you heal it." Max did not hear Tom, but he knew Tom wanted to help. Max let Tom try to heal his paw.
Tom tried to help Max, but he did not know how to heal a hurt paw. Max's paw got worse and worse. Max was sad, and Tom was sad too. They wished they knew how to heal Max's paw, but they just didn't know. So Max's paw did not get better, and Max and Tom stayed sad.
