The story is about a young boy named Badal who lives happily with his mother in a village. One cold evening, on his way home from school, Badal finds a shivering puppy and brings him home. With his mother's permission, they adopt the puppy and name him Moti. Badal and Moti become inseparable best friends, playing and eating together.
One rainy day, Badal slips and falls into a deep pit on his way home. When he doesn't return, his worried mother and the neighbours search for him. Moti uses his strong sense of smell to track Badal's scent, finds the pit, and barks to alert the search party. The neighbours rescue Badal using a rope, and a grateful Badal hugs and thanks his loyal dog.

A classic fable completed using vocabulary words:
A dove was resting on a branch of a tree near a stream. An ant fell into the stream and cried for help. The dove dropped a leaf into the stream. The ant climbed on the leaf and landed safely. Another day the ant saw a hunter aiming at the dove. She quickly climbed up and bit the hunter's hand. The dove flew away unhurt.
