Once upon a time, there was a Traveler preparing for a long journey. He packed his bags, filled his water flask, and gathered his maps. Outside his house, his faithful Dog watched, wagging his tail excitedly.
The Traveler noticed his Dog at the door, stretching lazily in the afternoon sun. He raised an eyebrow and said rather impatiently, "Why are you just standing there, yawning? I have prepared everything for our journey, and here you are, not ready to go. Come along with me at once."
The Dog looked up at the Traveler, tail still wagging. With a friendly bark, he responded, "Oh, master! You are mistaken. I am not the one you are waiting for. I have been ready for our journey since the moment you began packing. I've been standing here by the door, watching you, and waiting for you to finish your preparations."
The Traveler stared at his Dog, surprised at his response. It appeared his Dog was more prepared for their journey than he was. He laughed at this realization, gathered the rest of his things, and together, they set off on their adventure.
Once upon a time, a Traveler was getting ready for a long trip. He packed his bags, filled his water bottle, and took out his maps. Outside, his loyal Dog sat, wagging his tail happily.
The Traveler saw his Dog at the door, stretching in the warm sunlight. He frowned and said, "Why are you just sitting there, yawning? I’ve done all the packing, and you’re not ready yet! Come on, we need to go."
The Dog looked up at him, still wagging his tail. He gave a friendly bark and said, "Oh, master! You’re wrong. I’ve been ready since you started packing. I’ve been waiting here by the door, watching you finish your work."
The Traveler looked at his Dog, surprised by this answer. It seemed the Dog was more prepared than him. He laughed, picked up the last of his things, and together, they began their journey.

In a land that felt a bit like Tuesday, a Traveler was buzzing around like he'd misplaced his favorite socks. Bags? Check. Water? Check. Fancy-looking map from that tourist shop? Double check! Meanwhile, lounging outside was his Dog, tail going like a mini windmill.
Spotting his Dog looking like he'd just discovered the joys of sunbathing, the Traveler exclaimed, "Oi, fluffy! You planning on joining the 'All Day Nap Club' or are you coming with me on this epic road trip?"
The Dog, not missing a beat, quipped, "You know, I was thinking about that nap. But hey, while you were deciding which mismatched socks to wear, I've been here, tail on turbo mode, waiting to get this show on the road!"
The Traveler's eyes widened, looking as surprised as if his Dog had just done a tap dance. "Well butter my toast, you're a quick one today!" he chuckled, shaking his head. "I suppose we've dilly-dallied enough, eh? Time to chase the wind and follow the wiggly lines on this here map!"
The Dog's tail wagged even faster, and with a bark that sounded suspiciously like a giggle, he added, "And don't forget the snacks! Because what's an adventure without a picnic, a song, and maybe a squirrel or two?"
"Snacks, songs, AND squirrels? Now you're talking my language!" the Traveler laughed, and with a high-five and a woof, they pranced off into a journey filled with all the silliness, laughter, and jelly sandwiches one could ever hope for.
Beneath skies of gold and hues so blue,
A Traveler bustled, with tasks to do.
Flask in hand, maps unfurled wide,
For a grand journey, he'd soon ride.
Beside the door, his Dog stood near,
Tail wagging fast, showing no fear.
Traveler sighed, said, "Why the stay?"
"We must be off, no more delay."
Dog stretched and smiled, gaze alight,
"I've been set since the first sunlight.
While you bustled, in long array,
I've been ready, come what may."
Traveler blinked, laughter began to vent,
His loyal Dog, eager and intent.
Hand in paw, without delay,
On a grand adventure, they made their way.
A person who journeys to distant places.
Showing constant support and trustworthiness.
Extending arms and legs to relax muscles.
Opening mouth wide due to tiredness.
Showed displeasure by wrinkling the forehead.
Moving tail back and forth quickly.
Feeling amazed by something unexpected.
Ready for a task or situation.
A long trip or travel to a place.
Put items into a bag for a trip.
