Maxy was so excited to play with his blocks today. He had all different colors and sizes, and he couldn't wait to build something big and tall.

"Grandfather Dog, come see what I'm building!" Maxy barked.

"Wow, that's impressive, Maxy," Grandfather Dog said. "What are you making?"

"I'm not sure yet," Maxy said. "I just know it's going to be the best thing ever!"

Maxy continued to stack his blocks higher and higher, but as he reached for one more block, the whole tower came crashing down.

"Oh no!" Maxy yelped.

"Don't worry, Maxy," Grandfather Dog said. "Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and try again."

Maxy thought for a moment, and then had an idea. He started to build his tower again, but this time, he made sure to press down on each block to make sure it was stable before adding the next one.

"Look, Grandfather Dog! I did it!" Maxy barked excitedly.

"I'm proud of you, Maxy," Grandfather Dog said. "You didn't give up and you used your problem solving skills."

Maxy beamed with pride, happy that he had learned something new and built something amazing. From that day on, Maxy made sure to always press down on his blocks before adding the next one, and he never had a tower fall down again.

The End.
