The Lost Puppy

It was a sunny Saturday morning when Mei Ling and her brother, Wei Ming, went to the park near their home. The park was filled with families enjoying the beautiful weather. Children were running around, flying kites, and playing on the swings.

As they walked along the path, Mei Ling heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind a bush. She tugged at her brother's sleeve and whispered, "Wei Ming, did you hear that?"

They walked closer and found a small brown puppy hiding under the bush. The puppy was shaking and looked very frightened. It had a blue collar around its neck with a small tag.

"Poor little thing," said Mei Ling gently. She knelt down and slowly reached out her hand. The puppy sniffed her fingers and then licked them. Its tail began to wag slowly.

Wei Ming checked the tag on the collar. "It says 'Coco' and there's a phone number here," he said excitedly.

The children decided to call the number. A worried lady answered the phone. She was so relieved to hear that Coco had been found. Within fifteen minutes, she arrived at the park with tears of joy in her eyes.

"Thank you so much for finding my Coco!" said Mrs Lim, the owner. "She ran away when I opened the gate this morning. I was so worried about her."

Mrs Lim was so grateful that she gave Mei Ling and Wei Ming a small reward. However, the children felt that the best reward was seeing Coco happily reunited with her owner. They had learned that helping others could bring great joy.
