阅读理解Damon tossed(扔) the tennis ball high in the air and watched. Prince ran and caught it in his mouth.
"Good boy, Prince!" Damon said.
Prince dropped the ball at Damon's feet just as a bark came from the next door. Damon looked up to see a little puppy(幼犬) run out of the house.
"Come on, Prince," Damon said. "Scott got a new puppy. Let's go to say hi."
Damon ran over to Scott. "Hey," Damon said.
Damon bent down and laughed, "What's his name?"
"Duke. My dad brought him home for me last night."
"Hi, Duke," Damon said.
Prince barked and nudged the tennis ball towards Damon.
"Not now," Damon said. "I'm playing with Duke."
Duke tried to pick up the tennis ball, but his mouth was too small.
"Sorry, little guy. You need to grow a little before you can play with the ball," Damon said.
"Hey," Scott said, "show Duke how well Prince can catch the ball."
Damon wanted to keep playing with Duke. But Scott said to him, "Come on, show him."
Damon got up. He tossed the ball high in the air, and Prince jumped up to catch it.
"Wow!" Scott said. "I can't wait for Duke to be big enough to do that."
"But the puppy is so cute and fun," Damon said.
"Yeah, but Duke is too little to play with a ball. Prince is like having a friend around all the time," Scott said.
Damon looked at Prince and smiled. He was happy to have a dog who was also a friend.
