In the next yard a little girl was blowing bubbles. The bubbles shown like the puppies’ eyes. “Let’s call the BROWN ONE BUBBLES!” he said suddenly. “Fine!” answered Daddy.
Then he left his seat in the big arm-chair. The black-eyed puppy had gotten off his cushion, and was trying to chew Jimmy’s shoe! “Go back to your cushion!” he commanded, “You’ll make a lot of trouble, I can see!” “Oh, Daddy!” shouted Jimmy. “Let’s call him TROUBLES!”
One evening Daddy came home with a package. “Is it mine?” asked Jimmy. “It is for your twins,” said Daddy.
When Jimmy opened it, two nice, new collars fell out! On one was a silver plate with TROUBLES. On the other a silver plate with BUBBLES.
Soon the puppies were very well trained. Every morning Jimmy took them walking. He walked in the middle. Troubles stayed on the outside, while Bubbles was on the inside. They never got out of line.
But one morning, before Jimmy could turn, they ran wildly across the street, barking furiously! There on the other side was A BIG BLACK CAT! Such a noise as they made! “Bow, Wow, Bow, Wow, Bow, Wow! Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo! Bow-wow!”
