Pat hugged her hound, Max. But Max was a grouch! What will make Max happy? “Maybe Max needs a new doghouse,” said Mom. But Max was still a grouch. “How about a pound of dog bones?” asked Dad. Dad set a large bone on the ground. Max spit the bone out of his mouth. He made a loud sound! Max was still a grouch. “How about a long walk?” asked Pat. She and Max walked around the park. Now Max was a tired grouch. Pat went to feed Max. “Look, Mom!” Pat whispered. “Max found a mouse pal!” Max was finally happy.
