🐶 The Lost Puppy

Sam was playing in the park with his red ball. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing in the trees.

Suddenly, Sam heard a small sound. “Woof! Woof!” It was coming from behind a big bush.

Sam walked over to look. Behind the bush, he saw a tiny brown puppy. The puppy had a blue collar and big floppy ears. It looked scared and hungry.

Sam gently picked up the puppy. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I will help you.”

Sam took the puppy to the park office. The lady at the desk smiled. “This puppy belongs to Mrs Green,” she said. “She has been looking everywhere!”

Soon, Mrs Green came running into the office. “Oh, thank you!” she said, hugging the puppy. Sam felt proud and happy.
