Spot
When I go to school, my dog Spot follows me.
I try to get him to go back home.
I say to him, “Spot, go home!”
But he wants to say “Good-by” to me.
He lifts his paw as if he wished to shake hands and say “Good-by.”
I shake his paw and then Spot goes home.
When he sees my mother, he barks.
I think he wants to tell my mother that I have gone to school.
When my sister and I come home from school, Spot is so glad that he runs to meet us.
When my father comes home, Spot says “Bow, wow!”
That is his way of saying “Hello.”
