" I'll go get it" Jeff said. "Yes I will go get it".So he decided to go at night.So he did but oh no it's thundering he hated the thunder and lightning but he really wanted his new toy, so he got his jacket and then he was off into the storm.Then he came to a dumpster, he sat next to it and looked at it, and searched for it he could not find it, dumpster after dumpster he just could not find it. He felt so sad then finally he came to a junkyard, he searched the many, many piles of rubbish. He found old dog food can, old chew toys and garbage. There was one pile left to search and he searched it. He found a tunnel leading to what seemed to be laughter,so he went down, it was dark very, very dark. At the end of the tunnel there was a light he walked in. There were 5 angry dogs staring at him. It looked like a gang of dogs, one had a funny hat on and thought it might be there leader so he asked. "Excuse me but have you seen a light blue toy" Jeff said. "Yes"their leader said.
