    In a bustling town lived a tiny, energetic puppy named Sparky. He was known for his black and white spotted coat, and his boundless energy.

    The firefighters laughed and played with Sparky, but they told him he was too young and too small to be a firefighter.

    Feeling dejected, Sparky returned to his dog house. But, he was not one to give up. He decided to train and grow stronger.

    Every day, Sparky would do exercises to build his strength. He would run around, jump over obstacles, and even try to climb trees.

    One day, a new litter of puppies was born in Sparky's old home. They were tiny, fluffy, and full of energy, just like Sparky once was.
