Donald’s Pet Dog
Donald had a pet dog.
His name was Ted.
One day Ted ran away.
He stayed away for a long time.
Then one day he came back.
He was glad to be home again.
But Donald was afraid that Ted might run away again.
So, at first, he tied him to a long clothes line.
Soon he noticed that the dog was panting.
Then he took him to the garden.
He filled a pail with fresh water.
Ted was very thirsty.
He drank and drank.
Ted was grateful to his master for the cool drink of water.
He looked up at Donald and wagged his tail as if he were saying, “Thank you.”
