Sam's Short Story - "Dog and his Ball"

Dog was playing with his ball. He was throwing it north and  then catching it. Hamster came over to Dog, "Can I play with you?" Hamster asked."NO" Dog replied, tossing his ball in the air. "Okay!" said Hamster, walking away.

Raccoon came over, "Can I play with you, Dog?"

"NO way!" Dog answered.
As Raccoon walked away Cat walked by, "May I paly fetch with you, Dog?"

"Why would I want to play with you when I am having so much fun without you?" Dog kept throwing the ball in the air.

Dog throw the ball  high in the air, But before he could catch it Owl caught it with his feet. Do you want to play ball? It would be fun" said Owl, throwing the ball to Dog while lowering to the ground.

"NO, no, no, no, I want to play alone" Dog shouted, throwing his ball on the ground.

It was night and all the animals had gone away. Dog throw the ball so hard it looked like a star in the sky, but instead of coming down, it stayed. The ball twinkled in the North direction and it was now the biggest star in the sky.

The next day, Dog asked if he could play catch with Hamster, Raccoon, Cat and Owl. And they played all day with Cat's new ball.

This is how the North Star got there. The rest of the stars in the Big Dipper are all balls from pups who learned different lessons but this the biggest lesson of sharing and it was Dog's favorite ball so that is why it is the brightest in the sky.
