One day, a little brown dog named Max found a spade in the yard. He picked it up with his mouth and ran to his best friend, a cat named Lily. Max wanted to play with the spade and dig holes in the dirt.
"Hey Lily, look what I found!" Max said. "Let's play and dig holes with this spade!" But Lily wanted to take a nap in the sun and ignore Max. She closed her eyes and lay down on the warm grass.
Max felt sad that Lily didn't want to play with him. But then, he saw a little boy named Tim playing in the yard next door. Max ran over to Tim with the spade in his mouth, wagging his tail. Tim saw Max and smiled.
"Hi Max!" Tim said. "Do you want to play with me and dig holes with that spade?" Max barked happily and nodded his head. So Max and Tim played together, digging holes and having fun in the sun. And when Lily woke up from her nap, she saw Max and Tim playing and decided to join them.
