One day, a little girl named Amy had a tough time. She was sad because her friends went on a holiday. She wanted to go too, but she had to stay home. Amy's mom saw her sad face and wanted to help.
"Let's tell a fun story about a holiday," said Mom. Amy liked stories, so she smiled and sat down. Mom began to tell a story about a happy dog named Spot.
"Spot went on a holiday with his family. They went to a big beach with lots of sand and water. Spot loved to run and play in the sand. He found a big stick and brought it to his family. They played fetch all day long."
Amy listened and imagined Spot playing at the beach. She felt happy and forgot about her tough day. She asked her mom to tell more stories about Spot's holiday. They spent the whole day telling stories and laughing together.
