Once upon a time, in a small house, there lived a little boy named Tim. Tim had a new toy. It was a ball made of leather. Tim loved his new ball very much. He played with it every day.
One day, Tim could not find his ball. He looked and looked, but it was gone. Tim was very sad. He asked his mom, "Mom, have you seen my ball?" His mom said, "No, Tim. I have not seen your ball."
Just then, Tim heard a noise in the yard. He went outside to see what it was. There, he found his dog, Max, playing with his ball. Tim was so happy! He said, "Max, you found my ball!" Tim and Max played with the ball all day. They were very happy.
