A little girl named Sophie went out to play in the park near her home in the city of Ayova. She was only five years old and loved to run and play in the open spaces of the park.
As the night grew darker, Sophie’s parents began to worry when she didn’t come home. They searched the neighborhood and asked everyone they knew if they had seen her, but no one had.
Sophie, meanwhile, had wandered deeper into the park and had become lost. She called out for her parents, but the noise of the fireworks and the celebrations made it hard for anyone to hear her.
As she lay down on a bench to rest, she saw a pair of bright eyes staring at her from the darkness. At first, she was afraid, but then she saw that it was just a lonely old dog.
The dog wagged its tail and came closer, as if to comfort her. Sophie reached out her hand, and the dog licked it, as if to say, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you.”
Sophie felt safe with the dog by her side, and they set off together to find her way home. They walked through the streets of Ayova, with the dog leading the way and Sophie holding tightly onto its fur.
After a while, they came to the square, where a crowd had gathered to celebrate the new year. Sophie’s parents were there, frantically searching for her among the throngs of people.
The dog barked and ran towards them, with Sophie following closely behind. Her parents were overjoyed to see her and hugged her tightly. They thanked the dog for bringing their daughter home safely.
From that day on, Sophie and her family took care of the lonely dog, and they all lived happily ever after. They also made sure to never lose Sophie again, and they always made sure to stay together when they went out to celebrations.
