Read the story Easy English

In a peaceful park under a pale pink sky lived a puppy named Pip. Pip had very playful paws that loved to prance and pounce all day long. The other puppies knew when to pause and rest, but Pip did not know how to be patient. Some puppies puffed and sighed because Pip was too noisy and fast. Pip felt puzzled and left out, so he often played alone by the pond.

One pleasant afternoon, the puppies went to pick pine cones near the path. They played happily and wandered far from the park until they got lost. Soon, the sky turned purple, and the path became puzzling and unclear. The puppies began to panic and run in fear. Pip looked around and softly promised to be careful and patient while searching for the right path home.

Pip padded quickly and gently through the park, peeking behind trees and big rocks. His playful paws helped him explore until he found the proper path. Pip guided the puppies back slowly so no one got lost step by step. Soon, the park lights glowed, and they reached home safely. The puppies smiled and thanked Pip. From that day on, Pip played and paused at the right time.
