One day Rufus was looking happily out of the window and watching the world go by. He saw some children playing in the street outside with a football. They seemed to be having so much fun! Rufus wished that he had a ball to play with.
Rufus had a lovely pully toy. It was red and made of rubber. Rufus enjoyed playing with his pully toy, but he wished that he had a ball.
Rufus also had a black kong. Nic would fill it with treats and peanut butter and Rufus would spend hours playing with it. Even though he had a kong, Rufus wished he had a ball.
Rufus watched the children and wagged his tail. He thought "I would love a ball, but I'm lucky because I have other toys to play with."
A little while later Nic and Tom came home. Rufus didn't know where they'd been or how long they had been gone, but he was very pleased to see them. He jumped and bounced and wagged his tail.
"Rufus, I've got a present for you!" Said Tom. Tom reached in to his pocket and pulled out a yellow rubber ball! Rufus was so excited! He ran around the living room to celebrate and then gave Tom his paw in exchange for the ball. "Good boy!" Exclaimed Tom. Putting on his lead, Tom and Nic took Rufus in to the garden.
In the garden Tom and Nic took turns to throw the ball and Rufus caught it every time! "This is fun!" Thought Rufus excitedly, "I'm so lucky to have a yellow ball!" Rufus wagged his tail and even though he loved his other toys, he decided that the yellow ball was his favourite toy of all.
