One morning I paced into the forest with luscious green trees. I brought my dog Max along with me. Max was chocolate brown. As Max and I skipped through the jungle we heard an animal. “Ohhh, what was that?” I asked but Max just growled. “What’s the matter Max?”
Then just when I was about to speak, Max scampered away, like he didn’t want to be in the forest. As the afternoon swished by, I was still calling out, “Max where are you?” As darkness fell, I heard the animals growling and the wolves howling. I felt so unaware of not finding Max anywhere. So that night, I had to sleep under a tree as I whispered to myself, “When am I going to find Max?”
So the next morning I went for a stroll through the forest. As I was about to turn around, I flinched forwards when I felt the tip of an animal’s tail, so as I turned around, to my surprise, I found my doggy Max. So that day and the day after that, we partied till we were tired.
As evening approached, I whispered to Max, “Don’t you ever run away like that little buddy.” So we fell asleep under the round, bright light of the moon.
