One afternoon, Karim was walking home from school when he saw a small brown dog sitting near the road. The dog looked sad and tired. It had no collar and no one was with it.
Karim stopped and looked at the dog carefully. "Are you lost, little one?" he asked softly. The dog lifted its head and wagged its tail slowly. Karim felt sorry for the animal.
He decided to take the dog home. His mother was surprised when she saw it. "We cannot keep it," she said, "but we can help it find its owner." She gave the dog some water and a piece of bread.
Karim made a poster with a picture of the dog and the words: "FOUND — brown dog, very friendly, call 0612-345678." He walked around the neighbourhood and put the posters on walls and doors.
The next day, a woman rang at their door. "That is my dog, Biscuit!" she cried happily. She hugged the dog and thanked Karim many times. Karim felt very proud. It was a wonderful feeling to help someone.
