Ben
Ben is a little pet dog.
He lives in a brick house near our school.
One day the man who owned him was out in the yard.
He had a big football.
A leather strap was fastened to this ball.
The man threw the ball.
He said, “Ben, get the ball.”
Ben ran and got the ball.
He carried the ball by the leather strap.
He brought it back to his master.
One time the ball hit the dog on the head.
Then the dog rolled over on the ground.
He ran after the ball many, many times.
But after a while the man said, “This is the last time.”
He took the ball and went into the house.
He said, “Come on, Ben.”
The dog obeyed his master and followed him into the house.
I wish that I had a dog like that.
Do you?
