The Lost puppy

Once, there was a puppy who had a boy. The boy was happy. One summer morning, the puppy was not happy. And said, “I don’t like my boy”.

The little puppy went to the country. He started off on his journey, but in the morning, the boy went to see the puppy. He saw that the puppy was not there, so he ran all the way into the house crying, “Mommy, Mommy, my puppy is gone”. She asked, “He is?”

“Yes,” the boy replied. “Let’s call the police. Hurry, Mommy, hurry”.

She called the police and said, “My boy’s pup’s lost.” “Don’t panic,” said the police. “We will find him”.

“What did he look like?” they asked his mother.

“Well, it had brown spots and white on the rest,” the boy’s mother told the police.

They looked for one hundred days until they finally found him in the country.
