Tim and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to make towers and houses and cars. Tim had a red block and Lily had a blue block. They wanted to see who could make the highest tower.
"I have six blocks in my tower. Six is a big number," Tim said.
"I have seven blocks in my tower. Seven is a bigger number," Lily said.
They kept adding more blocks to their towers. They did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was hungry and bored. He saw the blocks and thought they were bones. He ran to the towers and knocked them down. He tried to bite the blocks, but they were hard and plastic. He spat them out.
"Spot, no!" Tim and Lily shouted. They were sad and angry. Their towers were gone and their blocks were disgusting. They had dog spit on them.
Spot felt sorry. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not talk. He saw a bandage on the table. He thought it was a toy. He grabbed it with his mouth and ran to Tim and Lily. He dropped the bandage on their lap.
"What is this?" Tim asked.
"It's a bandage. You use it when you have a boo-boo," Lily said.
"Maybe Spot wants to give us a bandage. Maybe he thinks we have a boo-boo," Tim said.
They looked at each other and smiled. They did not have a boo-boo, but they liked Spot's gift. They took the bandage and wrapped it around Spot's neck. They made a bow.
"There, now you have a bandage too. You look very cute," Lily said.
Spot barked and wagged his tail. He was happy. He liked his bandage. He liked Tim and Lily. He did not like the blocks. He decided to play with his ball instead. Tim and Lily decided to play with him. They forgot about the towers and the blocks. They had fun.
