Baby Bulldogs at the Playground

The Baby Bulldogs chase their red ball across the grass until it rolls beside a puppy sitting alone. The puppy nudges it back without looking up.

One Bulldog invites the puppy to the swing. Another talks so excitedly that the invitation gets lost beneath a tumble of words.

Luckybug draws a chalk line with a star at each end. The puppy can join by rolling the ball across—no talking needed.

Soon the playground has one longer team and one very waggy new friend. The Bulldogs learn that a welcome can be an action, not only a question.
