Benny the Friendly Dog

In a cozy little town, there lived a friendly dog named Benny. Benny loved to play, but he also loved to sit! Every time his owner called him, he would wag his tail and plop down right where he was. “Sit, Benny!” she would say, and he would sit like a statue, waiting for a treat.

One sunny day, Benny sat under a big tree, watching the clouds float by. “Sitting is fun!” he thought. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy the world around you. So, remember, sometimes it’s nice to just sit and take a break!
