The Poor Boy and his Best Friend Dog

Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a poor boy named Tim. He lived in a tiny house with his mother, and they had very little money. But Tim's best friend was his loyal dog, Max, who always kept him company.

One day, Tim's mother fell sick and they couldn't afford the medicine she needed. Tim knew he had to find a way to help his mother get better. He sat down with Max and said, 'We need to figure out a solution, Max.'

Tim had an idea. He remembered a contest in the village that rewarded the person with the best vegetable garden. Tim loved gardening, so he decided to participate and try to win the prize money to buy medicine for his mother. Max wagged his tail happily, supporting his friend's plan.
