Play

Give a boy a dog and you've furnished him a playmate.

I like this kid.
I like this dog.
The kid has a bag.
The kid has a ball.

The dog wants to play.
Throw the ball, kid!
Throw the ball for the dog!
Play with the dog, kid.

What is in the bag?
A cap? A cup? 
The kid has a snack for the dog.
The dog wants the ball.
Throw the ball, kid!

The kid doesn't play ball.
The kid holds the ball.
The kid eats the ball.
There is a snack for the dog in the bag.
No snack for the kid.
