Once upon a time, there was a happy little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and her best friend, a dog named Max. They played all day in their big backyard. Lily and Max liked to include all their friends in their games. One sunny day, they were playing hide and seek.
Lily said to Max, "I will count, and you go hide." Max ran off to find a hiding spot. Lily counted to ten and then went to look for Max. She looked behind the trees, under the bushes, and in the flower beds. But she could not find Max anywhere.
Then, Lily saw a shiny rock on the ground. She picked it up and saw that it was gold! She was very surprised. Just then, Max jumped out from behind a bush and barked, "You found me and the gold!" They both laughed and were happy. They took the gold rock to their mom, who told them it was a special treasure. From that day on, Lily and Max knew that their backyard was a magical place where anything could happen.
