Sara and Ben wanted to organize a festival for their friends. They had many ideas for games, food and music. They asked their mom and dad if they could use the backyard for their festival. Mom and dad said yes, but they had to clean up after themselves.
Sara and Ben started to decorate the backyard with balloons, streamers and signs. They also set up a table with snacks and drinks. They invited their friends to come over at three o'clock. They were very excited for their festival.
But when their friends arrived, they saw a big problem. A fierce dog was barking and growling at them from the other side of the fence. The dog looked angry and scary. The friends were afraid to go into the backyard. They did not want to play with the dog.
Sara and Ben did not know what to do. They did not want their festival to be ruined by the dog. They tried to talk to the dog, but the dog did not listen. They tried to throw a ball to the dog, but the dog did not chase it. They tried to give the dog a treat, but the dog did not eat it.
Then, they had an idea. They asked their mom and dad if they could borrow their radio. They turned on the radio and played some loud and happy music. The dog heard the music and stopped barking. The dog started to wag its tail and dance. The dog liked the music.
Sara and Ben and their friends saw the dog dancing. They laughed and clapped. They decided to join the dog and dance too. They had fun dancing with the dog. They forgot about their fear. They enjoyed their festival.
