Once upon a time, there was a brown dog named Max. Max liked to play with his toy car. One day, Max met a driver named Tom. Tom drove a big, red truck. Max wanted to ride in the truck with Tom.
"Can I ride with you?" Max asked Tom. Tom said, "Yes, but first you must set your toy car down." Max set his toy car down and jumped into the big, red truck. They drove and drove, having lots of fun.
As they drove, Max saw his toy car on the side of the road. He asked Tom to stop the truck. Max picked up his toy car and said, "Thank you for the ride, Tom!" Max and Tom were now good friends and played together every day.
