The black puppy likes to play, but he doesn’t like to play alone. Every day he asks his friends on the farm if they want to play with him.

On Monday, the black puppy asks the wise hens –Do you want to play with me?

–They answer him –No, we are working.

The puppy is sad because he has no one to play with.

On Tuesday, the black puppy asks the little white female cat –Do you want to play with me? – she replies –No, I’m sleeping.

The puppy is sad because he has no one to play with.

On Wednesday, the black puppy asks the pink pig –Do you want to play with me?

–But the pink pig replies –No, I’m busy eating.

Now the puppy is angry because his friends are busy and they don’t have time to play with him.

On Thursday, the black puppy asks the two green-headed geese if they want to play with him:

–Do you want to play with me?

The geese respond –No, we are swimming.

The dog says to himself, –Can any animal play with me?

On Friday, the farmer brings a brown puppy to the farm. The brown dog asks the black dog:

–Do you want to play with me?

And the two puppies play like good friends.

Moral: Life rewards with good friends if we are patient.
