TEXT

The girl and her dog

The day is warm, and a little dog is in the yard; he is running to a girl, who smiles at him.
She has a red ball, and she likes it, but he looks at it a long time, so she knows he wants it too.

So, she puts the ball on the grass, and he takes it and runs. She runs after him. Both of them are fast and happy.

A man comes from the house and sees them, he smiles and says:

– Good dog!

The dog comes to sit by his feet;  she comes to stand with them.

It is a good time for all of them.
