The Lost Puppy

The Lost Puppy

On a rainy day, a small puppy named Coco wandered off and got lost in a bustling market. Shivering and scared, Coco hid beneath a stall, whimpering softly with each drop of rain.

Nearby, a kind-hearted boy named Arjun noticed the trembling pup. Gently, he coaxed Coco out with soothing words and a few biscuits. Feeling safe, Coco followed Arjun home, his tail wagging cautiously but hopefully.

Arjun created homemade posters with Coco’s picture and placed them around the neighborhood and market stalls. For two anxious days, he waited alongside Coco.

Finally, Coco’s family saw the poster and came rushing over, bursting with relief. They hugged their puppy, tears of joy in their eyes. “Thank you for taking such good care of him,” they said gratefully to Arjun. In return, they invited him to visit whenever he wanted.

Coco wagged his tail excitedly, happy to be reunited. And Arjun—in his own quiet way—was thrilled to have helped bring two friends back together.

Moral: Helping others often leads to unexpected friendships.
