Once upon a time, in a cozy little house, Bradley found a smooth rock in his garden.
He picked it up and smiled. 'Hello! I'll call you Roughy,' he said.
Bradley took Roughy inside and showed him his room filled with colorful toys.
Together, they built tall towers and knocked them down, laughing.
They drew pictures side by side. Bradley drew a tree, and Roughy had scribble marks.
When Bradley felt sad, he told Roughy stories. It felt like Roughy listened.
In the park, Bradley pushed Roughy on a swing, pretending he could fly!
They had picnics under the sun. Bradley shared his snacks with Roughy.
One day, Roughy got dirty. Bradley carefully washed and dried him.
At night, Bradley tucked Roughy in bed, whispering, 'Goodnight, my friend.'
Every morning, Roughy was the first thing Bradley said hello to.
Bradley knew that no matter what, he and Roughy would have fun together.
