Jaden and Nala were best friends. Jaden was a 3-year-old boy with bright eyes. Nala was a fluffy chow chow dog. They loved to play outside. One sunny day, they went to the zoo. Jaden held Nala's leash tightly. They saw lions, monkeys, and elephants. Nala's tail wagged with joy.
At the zoo, there was a big balloon seller. The balloons were colorful like the rainbow. Jaden wanted a blue balloon. He let go of Nala's leash to get one. Pop! The balloon burst. Jaden was sad, but then he saw Nala was gone!
Jaden looked around. He called, 'Nala! Nala!' But Nala did not come. He walked past the bears, the snakes, and the parrots. But still no Nala. Jaden felt scared. He missed Nala a lot.
Then, near the penguin pool, he heard barking. Jaden ran fast. There was Nala! She was trying to play with the penguins. Jaden hugged her tight. He said, 'Nala, stay with me.' They got a new balloon. This time, it was red. They left the zoo happy. Jaden held Nala's leash and his red balloon together.
