Pal

There was a small white puppy with fluffy curls. His name was Pal. He had grown up with a family that loved him as if he was another child in the family. They would take him out for walks, play with him and cuddle with him whenever he was around. He had lived a happy life. He had all the love, care and attention that any puppy could wish for. Even though the puppy had all these things, Pal had a sense of adventure. He longed to run around free in the world for just a moment  without someone chasing after him.
One day, the Pal’s owner, Suzy, opened the door for him to go out to the yard for a while. Pal was happy, wagging his tail at every person that walked by and barking at every car that zoomed past the house. There was a cool breeze that blew and shook the trees. While it shook the trees, the white gate door opened slightly.  The sound of the gate door’s spring rang in the puppy’s ears. Pal turned quickly and saw that the gate was open. Pal looked back at the house door, than again at the gate. The puppy, excited of finally getting its chance,  scampered over through the gate. It wouldn’t long before he came back anyway.
The dog was standing on the sidewalk, looking in all directions trying to decide where to go. Pal saw a fire hydrant across the street that had been his favorite place to sniff. The puppy was eager to cross the street ans curried over to the edge of the sidewalk. As soon as the puppy was about to make its way cross, a car quickly sped by. The dog was so frightened to see that the car had been so near him. Pal did not know what to do and was overwhelmed with fear. Instantly, the puppy decided to run back to safety. The puppy ran back through the gate, and in through its puppy door. He rushed up the stairs in search of Suzy. When Pal saw Suzy, he rushed towards her and cuddled up on her feet. He wanted her to hug him. He wanted to feel her near him.
Pal had realized that he was happy with what he had. He did not need to go out in the world by himself because all he now wanted was to be with Suzy, who loved him most. While Pal was sitting with her, he felt so secure. He felt like he could face the world alongside Suzy. Pal no longer had desire to leave because he had come to see what the world is like out there, dangerous and full of terrifying decisions that have to be made. Pal knew that everything was ok as long as he stayed happy with what he already had.
