"How rude" Liam had said to himself, but the 'thing' was actually his bookshelf.

Liam saw something big in the room with his eyes. It just stood still and never said hi!

Liam laughed and shook his head no.

"That thing isn't living that much I know, a bookshelf can't talk, or eat, or grow"

Liam then jumped there was a noise from the kitchen.

Making his way down the stairs, he tip-toed in.

In the kitchen he was met by surprise, by four little paws and a pair of brown eyes!

The thing he had found was his puppy named Sky!

Sky was living that much was true, she ate, ran, played, and made more puppies too!

Liam next made his way into the hall, he wanted to give Sky her favorite toy ball.

He picked up the ball and gave it a throw.

When Sky brought it back he thought she should know,

"Your ball isn't living it doesn't talk, eat, or go. Unless I'm the one who gives it a throw."

Without even realizing they had played the whole day.

Before they could play once again big sister came into the hall and said.

"Don't forget to water the plants they are also living!"

Liam was confused about the advice she was giving .
