English – Story of a Little Dog

Xiao Ming has a very cute little dog named Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai is a very smart dog, and they always play together. Every day, Xiao Ming takes Xiao Bai for a walk in the park. They often see many people and other dogs there.

One day, Xiao Ming and Xiao Bai met a stranger in the park. The person looked friendly, and he greeted Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming talked to him, but Xiao Bai felt scared and hid next to Xiao Ming’s feet. Xiao Ming told Xiao Bai not to be afraid because the person was a good person and not dangerous.

In the end, Xiao Bai believed Xiao Ming’s words, and he started playing with the person. They played ball together, and Xiao Bai had a great time. When they left the park, Xiao Bai wagged his tail to Xiao Ming, as if to say thank you for taking him out to play.

From then on, Xiao Ming and Xiao Bai often went to the park to play with other people and dogs. Xiao Bai was no longer afraid of strangers, and he became braver and more playful.
