Once upon a time, there was a dog who had no friends.He was so lonely, that he decided to run away from home.

The dog ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, and after a while he got very tired, and stopped for a rest.

When he woke up it was dark, and the moon was shining very brightly. He looked up at the moon and said,

"I wish I knew what to do?"

The moon listened and whispered an answer,

"Go back....Go back......Your neighbours are missing you........Go back!"

The little dog was confused, but he did what the moon had said.

When he got home, everyone was very happy, and he decided never to run away ever again.

The End
