Once upon a time a lonely pup stayed in a big city. Every day this pup sat and watched all of the people go by in their busy lives. The pup wanted to understand why the people were so different, and so he decided to study what they were doing.
One day the pup saw a man who looked kind and gentle. He was walking with a newspaper under his arm, and he smiled when he saw the pup. The pup wagged his tail in excitement and the man stopped to crouch down beside him.
"Why don't you come with me?" said the kind man. "I'm sure you could learn lots of things, if you come and study with me." 
The pup was very excited and followed the man, delighted to have found a friend. Every so often, the man would wink at the pup or throw a stick for him to fetch. Soon, the pup admired the man so much and he was so happy to be his friend. 
At night, the pup would feel lonely and long for another pup to play with, but even then he still enjoyed studying with the man and learning all he could. 
The pup and the kind man spent many happy days together, until one day the pup had to move onto a new home. But the pup will always remember the wonderful friendship they had, and the things he learnt to study.  The pup was never lonely again.
