Chapter 1: The Dogs
What was that? Is it a pack of dogs? Yes! Oh no... run! Yikes the dogs are getting closer. Oh yeah, I can use the paint and scissors and cardboard to make a cardboard version of myself and trick the dogs. Oh yeah, I stopped the dogs, now I can tame the dogs.
Chapter 2: Trouble with the dogs
Phew! These dogs are tiring me out! I wish that I could give some of them away. Wait I have an idea, I can sell some of them because they are tame now. Well I better get started and make a stand. I need a table and a jar for money and cages for the dogs. Luckily I haven't taught any of the dogs their names!
Chapter 3: Customers come
Oh look, customers. They’re buying the dogs I put out. Well I really want to teach the dogs I kept their names. I want to call one Rosie and one Bobby. I want to keep two dogs, one is a boy and its really brave and one is a girl and she is really smart. The boy one is going to be Bobby and the girl dog is going to be called Rosie.
Chapter 4: I teach my dogs how to sit.
First I call Rosie over, Rosie! Come here girl, now I can teach her how to sit. Sit! And then she sat down. Good girl! Now you can have a treat! Now to call Bobby over, now I can teach him how to sit. Sit! Good boy. Now I can give you a treat! Now I have to walk my dogs. Let’s go to the park and have some fun. Rosie fetch! Good girl Rosie. Now Bobby fetch! Good boy! Now let’s go home.
