One day, a little dog named Max saw a small strip of land across the river. He wanted to go there to play. But Max did not know how to swim. He was scared. Max asked his friend, a big bird named Sam, "Can you help me get to the strip of land? I want to be safe when I cross the river." Sam said, "Yes, I can save you. I will carry you across the river." Max was happy. As they flew over the river, Max saw a big fish jump out of the water. The fish wanted to catch Max. Max was scared. But Sam flew higher and the fish could not reach Max. They made it to the strip of land. Max was safe and happy. He thanked Sam for saving him. They played together all day.
