Once upon a time, there was a small dog named Spot. Spot loved to run and play in the big country. He liked to find new things and see where they fit. One day, Spot found a big ball. He tried to fit the ball in his mouth, but it was too big. Spot was very persistent. He wanted to play with the ball, so he tried and tried.
One day, Spot saw a big hole in the ground. He thought, "Maybe the ball will fit in the hole." Spot rolled the ball to the hole and tried to fit it in. It was too big for the hole too! Spot was sad, but he did not give up. He knew there had to be a place where the ball would fit.
Finally, Spot found a big box. He tried to fit the ball in the box, and it worked! The ball fit just right. Spot was so happy. He had been persistent and found the perfect place for his big ball. Now Spot could play with the ball all day long in the big country.
