It all started last Friday. There I was stepping along confidently, clutching my homework in my hand. I was pleased with it. I’d spent hours finishing it the night before.
Then I heard it ! A low growl....
I looked down slowly and silently to find the neighbourhood’s worst known dog tugging viciously at my homework. Deciding to take instant action, I snapped at him hoping it will scare him off. But NO! I pulled on my school work and still it didn’t get the reaction I had hoped for. “I’ve worked hard on this, I am not just going to give up on it”. I yelled. The only sound I heard was the growls that seem to get louder and louder. I looked down at his drooling mouth dribbling with saliva.I yelled at it, but still it didn’t work. Cars passing by looked at me in a weird way thinking no doubt that I am some kind of lunatic. I felt really embarrassed.
“You have caused me enough embarrassment, it is time to settle this once and for all”. I screamed at the dog. I dragged the dog to school with my homework still in his mouth.
Finally once I got into class, the dog let go of my work and rushed to another boys paper hanging down from his hand and began fiercely tugging on it. I laughed and laughed, desperately holding my stomach. I handed my paper to the teacher all torn and sloppy with disgusting dog saliva, and all the teacher could say was “eeewwww, goodness gracious me, I am very disgusted”. Her eyes met mine and there was a empty silence, I swallowed ... “My dog ate my homework!”.
