The Lost Dog
Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a little dog named Duke. Duke was a
happy dog with brown fur and a wagging tail. He loved to play in the park and
chase butterflies. One sunny day, Duke saw a butterfly flying high in the sky. He
wanted to catch it, so he ran after it.
Duke ran and ran, but he did not see where he was going. Suddenly, he found
himself in a big, strange place. Duke looked around and realized he was lost! He
felt scared and alone. He missed his home and his owner, Vanessa.
Vanessa was looking for Duke. She called his name, "Duke! Duke!" But Duke could
not hear her. He was too far away. Duke decided to find his way back home. He
remembered the big tree near his house. He started to walk towards the tree.
On his way, Duke met a friendly cat. The cat said, "Hello, little dog! Why are you
sad?" Duke replied, "I am lost. I want to go home." The cat smiled and said, "Follow
me! I will help you."
Together, they walked until they reached the big tree. Duke was so happy! He saw
Vanessa running towards him. "Duke!" she shouted. Duke ran to Vanessa and
jumped into her arms. He was home again!

Perro Perdido
Había una vez, en un pequeño pueblo, un perrito llamado Duke. Duke era un perro
feliz con pelaje marrón y una cola que siempre movía. Le encantaba jugar en el
parque y perseguir mariposas. Un día soleado, Duke vio una mariposa volando alto
en el cielo. Quería atraparla, así que corrió tras ella.
Duke corrió y corrió, pero no veía hacia dónde iba. De repente, se encontró en un
lugar grande y extraño. Duke miró a su alrededor y se dio cuenta de que estaba
perdido. Se sentía asustado y solo. Extrañaba su hogar y a su dueña, Vanessa.
Vanessa estaba buscando a Duke. Llamaba su nombre: “¡Duke! ¡Duke!” Pero Duke
no podía oírla. Estaba demasiado lejos. Duke decidió encontrar el camino de
regreso a casa. Recordó el gran árbol cerca de su casa y comenzó a caminar hacia
él.
En su camino, Duke se encontró con un gato amigable. El gato le dijo: “¡Hola,
perrito! ¿Por qué estás triste?” Duke respondió: “Estoy perdido. Quiero volver a
casa”. El gato sonrió y dijo: “¡Sígueme! Te ayudaré”.
Juntos caminaron hasta llegar al gran árbol. ¡Duke estaba tan feliz! Vio a Vanessa
corriendo hacia él. “¡Duke!” gritó. Duke corrió hacia Vanessa y saltó a sus
brazos. ¡Estaba en casa de nuevo!
