11、stion. Here is why. Mrs. Gonzales and her adorable dog Rascal, live at the end of my street. My friend Ollie and I have played with Rascal since he was a puppy, so when Mrs. Gonzales asked if wed like to take him to the park once in a while, we cant wait to says, “When can we start?” “How about this
12、 Saturday at 3: 00?”she suggested. When Saturday rolled around, Ollie and I were there to pick up Rascal at 3: 00 on time. “Rascal will be so happy to play in the park with you! “ Mrs Gonzales said. “If Im still out grocery shopping when you return, just let yourselves in with this spare key.

He ignored our commands,” Ollie and I explain. Hearing the words, Gonzales burst out laughing. “I should have made sure you knew which
19、 commands he responds to before leaving you alone with him.” It turned out we should have told Rascal to “stay” before we opened the door. And instead of telling him to”sit”, we should have said “off !” It took a while, but we all worked together to get the mud off everyone and everything. And now w
