Jack's dog Tony

    One day Jack and David went fishing. Jack took his dog Tony with him. On the river back, when the dog saw a bird, he would run after it and try to catch it. "All the fish are frightened and swim away," said David. " Be quiet, Tony," Jack shouted at the dog. But Tony did not listen to him. "Shall we go home now, David?" said Jack. "Next time I shall not bring him here again."

"Wait," said David. "A fish is biting my line." "Look out!" shouted Jack. But it was too late. The boy fell into the water. "Help!Help!" David shouted. But Jack couldn't swim, either. Just then Tony came out! He jumped into the water and pulled the boy onto the bank and saved his life.

    Many parts of the world have four seasons. They are spring, summer, fall and winter. Spring follows winter. It becomes warmer and the days become longer. Plants begin to grow and many animals have babies. Summer is the hottest season. It does not get dark until late. Plants grow fast. In fall the days get shorter. The weather turns cooler. Trees may lose their leaves. Some birds fly to warmer places. Winter is the coldest season. It gets dark early in the evening. Plants stop growing and many trees are bare ( 光秃).
