Good Dog

Jeffrey was mean to other kids, which was bad enough. But he was mean to his dog, too, and that was worse.

“Fetch!” he yelled, and let fly.

Daisy smelled the blizzard coming, and didn’t want to leave the porch. Jeffrey kicked her. “I said fetch!”

So Daisy found the stick and carried it into the woods.

“Bad dog!” Jeffrey said when she returned. “Stay!” he ordered, and stomped in after the stick.

The temperature plummeted. Snow fell. And Jeffrey got lost.

Daisy heard him crying, but didn’t move. She was a good dog. She knew how to stay.
