The Puppy Story

One uponce a time there was a puppy prince. He lived in a big castle with a
lot of rooms. One day he wanted to go exploring in the nearby forest. The
king told him to stay close to the castle. It was dangerous in the forest.
He wasn't scared though. He was a brave puppy prince. So off he went into
the forest. It was a lot of fun because he had never been there before.
There were trees everywhere and little animals that he had never seen
before. He played all day chasing squirrels and barking at birds. He even
saw a worm but a bird dove down and gobbled it up before he could play with
it. He had been playing so long that he didn't even realize that it was
getting dark. Then he started hearing noises that he had never heard
before. He started getting scared. It was really dark now and he didn't
remember how to get home. He heard something coming in his direction. It
was getting closer and closer. He didn't know what to do. He could hear it
breathing and it was very close now. He closed his eyes and wished that hid
dad was there to protect him. The noise stopped. He was still scared but he
opened his eyes. It was his dad, he had come looking for the puppy prince.
His dad was glad the puppy prince was safe and he took him home. The puppy
was so tired from playing all day that he fell asleep and slept for a very
long time. Safe and sound in the castle.
