One day, a small dog named Max was playing in a big field. He loved to run and jump in the tall grass. He saw a big red ball and ran to get it. Max was very happy.
In the field, Max saw a big cat named Tom. Tom was not nice. He wanted to take the red ball from Max. Tom said, "Give me the ball or I will hurt you." Max felt helpless. He did not know what to do.
A big bird named Sam saw Max and Tom. Sam wanted to help Max. He flew down and warned Tom, "Leave Max alone. He is my friend." Tom was scared of Sam and ran away. Max was safe and happy. He thanked Sam for helping him. From that day on, Max and Sam were best friends.
