A

|
|
so
she (fall)

|
|
But
soon she (meet)
|
|
a lady,
the dog's owner!
|
|
"Please, can I keep the dog for some days?"- | "Sure!" was the answer. |
|
The dog
and the girl (become)
|
|
friends. She didn't go to school that day.
|
|
She

|
|
In the

night.
|
|
In the morning the dog wasn't there!...
| |
|
Well,

|
|
only a
dream.
