1. A poor lost dog followed Harry and his little sister home from school, and tried to come into the house.
2. They shut the door; but, when they opened it again, the dog was still there.
3. He looked so sad that they begged their mother to give him some food. Then they said: 'We can't turn him out again to be hungry and lonely! Let us keep him till some one comes for him.' And very soon all three were happy at play in the garden.
4. The cat sat up on a window-sill, and looked at them. She did not seem to like the fun. What a noise they all made!
5. 'How much nicer he is to play with than pussy!' said Dora. 'He is not nearly so lazy as pussy.
6. 'Look, he is wagging his tail with joy! Now, if pussy wags her tail, it means that she is cross. But I think I like her round face better than his sharp one.'
7. 'I don't,' said Harry. 'See how bright he is, and how he looks as if he would like to do something for us!'
