Harriet and the Dog

Harriet is little girl two years old.
One day in June her mother was giving her a ride in the carriage.
Harriet saw a little dog.
The dog ran after the automobiles and tried to catch them.
When Harriet saw this, she turned to her mother and said, “Dog chase car.”
The dog chased other cars, too.
Harriet thought it was great fun to watch the dog do this.
She enjoyed watching the dog chase the cars.
The dog, too, had a good time.
