There lived a cheerful dog named Rocky and a curious mouse named Pip. Although it was unusual for a dog and a mouse to be friends, Rocky and Pip had formed an unlikely bond, spending their days exploring the fields and gardens together.
One sunny afternoon, as they roamed near the river, they stumbled upon a large, hollow log. Pip immediately wanted to crawl inside, but Rocky was cautious. "Be careful, Pip! You don’t know what's in there," he warned. But Pip, always one for adventure, dashed in before Rocky could stop him. Seconds later, Pip squeaked with excitement, "Rocky, come look! It’s filled with acorns and berries!"
Relieved, Rocky stuck his head in, and they began feasting on the unexpected find. Day after day, they returned to their secret hideaway for snacks and fun, the log becoming a treasured place for them.
One stormy night, the river nearby swelled, flooding the fields and their hideaway. Rocky was worried about Pip, who might not be able to swim if things got dangerous. So, without a second thought, Rocky scooped up his tiny friend and carried him to safety on higher ground.
From that day forward, Rocky and Pip were even closer, with Rocky as Pip’s loyal protector and Pip as Rocky's playful partner. They lived happily, exploring together, never letting anything come between their unusual and steadfast friendship. And in that village, everyone came to know of the bond between the brave dog and the curious little mouse, whose friendship was truly one of a kind
