Dodo's bath SAMPLE
SAMPLE
Lebo hears a loud noise. He wonders what it could be. He walks to the living room and sees that Mommy is cleaning the house. It is the vacuum cleaner making the noise. Lebo walks outside. Daddy is mowing the lawn. What can I do to help? he thinks.
Lebo smiles because he knows what he can do to help Mommy and Daddy.
SAMPLE
Lebo walks over to Dodo’s kennel. “Come, Dodo!” he calls. “I am going to clean your house today.”
Lebo takes Dodo’s mattress and blanket from the kennel. He will ask Mommy to wash the blanket.
He shakes Dodo’s mattress and puts it on the porch. Lebo fetches a small broom to sweep the kennel.
SAMPLE
Lebo puts Dodo’s food bowl and water bowl in the outside basin. He uses a brush to scrub the bowls and rinses them with clean water.
He pours clean water in the water bowl and puts it next to Dodo’s kennel. “I will feed you later, Dodo,” he says.
SAMPLE
Dodo wags his tail and looks at Lebo. He likes his clean house. Lebo thinks it is a good idea to bath
Dodo. He fetches the big plastic bath from the garage. Lebo ±lls the bath with water. He also fetches the dog shampoo, Dodo’s brush, and an old towel.
Dodo doesn’t move while Lebo brushes his fur.
SAMPLE
He knows Lebo is going to give him a bath. He jumps into the bath. The water splashes and Lebo is soaked. Dodo jumps out again and stands on the lawn next to the bath.
Lebo washes Dodo all over his body. There is foam everywhere. Dodo keeps his eyes closed. He likes it when Lebo gives him a bath.
SAMPLE
Lebo uses a jug to pour water over Dodo and rinse the soap from his fur. Dodo is clean.
“Let’s dry you,” says Lebo. Dodo doesn’t move while Lebo dries him.
“Now we can play with the ball on the lawn. You are a very good dog.”
SAMPLE
Lebo kicks the ball. Dodo runs after the ball. He runs fast and stops the ball. Lebo can’t kick the ball past Dodo. He is very quick and stops the ball each time.
Both are hot, tired, and thirsty. Dodo drinks some of the clean water from his bowl. He licks his lips and yawns. He lies down in the shade to rest.
SAMPLE
Lebo sits at the table in the kitchen. Mommy pours him a glass of cold fruit juice. She is very proud of Lebo.
“Thank you very much,” says Mommy.
“You helped us a lot today.”
