Midge ran out of the bedroom and leaped into the chair next to Snappy's tank and jumped onto the back of the chair. She stuck her nose over the top of the tank and looked around the tank for Snappy.
“Hey there Snappy,” said Midge. “Where are you?”
Snappy poked his head out from under the log and then crawled up the log and sat on top.
“Hi Midge,” smiled Snappy. “What are you doing?”
“I just woke up and ate my breakfast,” said Midge. “Did you see outside?”
Midge, Jake, Booker-T and Lucy all walked to Jake's house to find the reading book that his owner's niece used to learn how to read. They all followed Jake into the house through the doggie door. Jake went to the bedroom and on the table lay a book with two little humans on the cover.
“What is the name of the book?” asked Midge.
“It is called the “Little Reader,” said Jake as he picked up the book in his mouth and walked back to the living room.
Midge and Booker-T sat on Midge's front porch watching the neighborhood kids walking along the sidewalk with backpacks on the backs and little lunch boxes. Lucy and Jake entered the gate at Midge's house and sat down with them on the porch.
“What are you doing?” asked Lucy.
“We are sitting here watching the kids walking to school,” said Midge.
“Did school start today?” asked Lucy.
“I think today is the first day,” said Jake. “Now it will be quiet at the park when we go to swim in the pond.”
“And little kids who don't go to school yet will be there sometimes to ride the train through the park,” said Midge.
“Do they have schools for animals?” asked Lucy.
“I don't know,” said Booker-T. “Do they have them, Jake?”
“I think they have schools for dogs,” said Midge.
Jake and Lucy walked to Midge's house. Booker-T ran out his gate and caught up to them as they entered the gate at Midge's house.
“Hi Guys!” smiled Booker-T. “What are you doing?”
“Hi Booker-T,” greeted Lucy. “We came to ask Midge what she wants to do today.”
“There she is sitting on the porch,” said Jake. “Hey there Midge.”
“Hi you guys,” smiled Midge as she jumped up. “What are you doing?”
“We came to see what you want to do today,” said Lucy. “I want to do something fun.”
Booker-T walked over to Midge's house and Midge was not outside yet. He walked around to the back door and crawled through the doggie door and ran into the living room. He leaped into the chair and climbed onto the back of the chair. He stood on his hind legs and peaked over the top of the tank.
“Hey Snappy,” said Booker-T. “Where are you?”
Snappy poked his little head from under the big log inside his tank.
“Hi Booker-T,” said Snappy. “What are you doing here?”
Booker-T strolled into Midge's yard and looked around for Midge. She usually was sitting on the front porch early in the morning enjoying the cool air. But no Midge was there. He walked around the house to the back door where the doggie door was and he crawled into the kitchen. He went to the living room and jumped into the chair next to Snappy's tank. He climbed onto the back of the chair and put his front paws on the top of the tank and peaked into the tank.
Midge and Booker-T walked to Jake's house where they found him sitting with Lucy.
“Hi Jake, Lucy,” smiled Midge. “What are you doing?”
“Just sitting here waiting for you to come,” said Lucy.
“We made it!” laughed Booker-T. “What are we going to do today?”
“I don't know,” said Jake. “Lucy wants us to come to the farm and swim in the pond.”
“I like that idea,” said Booker-T. “How about you Midge? Do you want to go swim in the pond with Lucy?”
