A Pet Is Hard to Get

A Pet Is Hard To Get

by Brian Samuels

Whoosh went the wind on a lovely day in Townville. Bobby just sprang to his feet that instant, smelling delicious eggs, bacon and toast. “Bobby!” yelled his mother. “It’s time for breakfast!”

Bobby quickly got dressed and ran down stairs. “Mmmm,” he said after a piece of toast. “Mom can I go over Bob’s house?” he said loudly.

“OK,” answered his mom. Bobby ran down Lollipop Lane...down Hokey Street...down Saint Gord...down Baseball Glove...down Soccer Goal...down Basketball Hoop...down Football Post...down Park Avenue and into Bob’s house.

“Do you want to go to the park today?” said Bob. “Yes,” answered Bobby, as he saw something running towards him. “woof,woof,woof!” barked a dog, running towards him.

“Cool Bob. A puppy,” said Bobby, rubbing the puppy.

“We got him yesterday,” said Bob, giving the puppy a biscuit.

“What’s his name?” asked Bobby, petting the puppy.

“Cuddles,” said Bob, as the puppy did tricks.

“Why did you name him that?” asked Bobby, while getting hungry.

“Let’s just go to the park,” moaned Bob, impatiently.

“Let’s eat sandwiches,” said Bobby, trying to be sarcastic.

When Bobby got home he said, “Mom, Dad? Can you get me a ferocious dog?”

“No,” his mom said. “You have to get an A to get one and help your friends.”

“Mom I get a “B+” every time and I study hard!” he shouted trying to stay optimistic.

“That’s right your average is a B+ and you have a social studies and a math test tomorrow,” said his mother.

Bobby worked and studied hard for the tests and he felt good. He enjoyed studying for the test.

Math is his best subject and social studies he liked. He studied for math by adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying. He studied for social studies by studying capitals of countries.

The next day Bobby went to school and departed to homeroom. He put his stuff away and went to social studies. When he took the test, he was so worried about getting a grade lower than an A. After that, he went to art and he painted a good painting. At lunch he received his social studies quiz back and saw that he got an A­. After lunch he went to gym and they played soccer which was very fun. After gym he went to math. He was very good at math so he had nothing to worry about. But, he had trouble on the test. He did the challenge questions so he could get extra credit.The next period was a free block and he did his homework during it. Then school was over and he got his math test and he saw he got an A+. He and Bob walked home together and Bob stayed at his house to do the social studies homework.

Bobby told his parents that he got an A+ on his math quiz so after Bob left, he went to the pet store to get a dog. Bobby picked out a puppy and named it “Francis.”

After that Bobby and Francis both felt great to be together.When Bobby’s friends came over to hang out, they would enjoy Francis’s comfort.Francis was a perfect puppy.For now...
