Sorry the Dog

Once upon a time, there was a dog named Sorry. He had soft brown fur and floppy ears. Sorry loved to play and explore. He lived in a cozy house with a big backyard. Every day, Sorry would wag his tail and run outside, chasing butterflies and digging holes. But sometimes, Sorry made a mess by knocking over flower pots or tracking mud into the house.

One day, Sorry accidentally bumped into a little girl named Lily. He didn't mean to, but Lily dropped her ice cream on the ground. She looked sad and said, 'Sorry, the ice cream is ruined!'

Sorry felt very sorry for what happened. He licked Lily's face to say sorry because dogs can't talk like humans. Lily giggled and forgave Sorry. From that day on, Sorry became Lily's best friend. They would play together, share treats, and have lots of fun.

Whenever Sorry made a mistake, he would always try to make it right. He learned to be more careful and not knock things over. If he accidentally made a mess, he would look at Lily with his big, sad eyes and she would say, 'It's okay, Sorry. We all make mistakes. Just try your best.' And Sorry would wag his tail and feel better.
