Lisa and Her Dog

One day Lisa was walking home from school and she passed A pet shop, the same one she passed hundreds of times. This time as she passed by the window she just had to look in, when she did she saw the prettiest dog she’d ever seen in her lifetime. It had a red bow in its hair behind its ears she was the prettiest black dog she ever did see. She was black as coal. So, Lisa just had to run home and tell her mommy that she seen the gift that she wanted for her birthday next week. So, Lisa ran fast as her legs would carry her, she ran through the front door as fast as she could, slamming the door behind her telling her mommy that she just has seen the prettiest dog she ever did see in her lifetime. She asked,” mommy you think I could get the dog for my birthday”. “I don’t know “, her mommy replied. “It depends on your father, what he say’s about you getting a dog. “Mommy was in the house cooking dinner. So, Lisa walked back out into the living room and turned the TV on and her favorite show was on. As she was watching her TV show her mommy said,” if you want to get your daddy to let you have a dog’ get your homework done before your daddy comes home”. “Okay mommy”, and so Lisa got up and turned off the TV and got her school book’s out of her backpack and started doing her homework and then she could hear her daddy pulling up into the driveway and getting out of the car and she heard him shut the car door. He walked up the sidewalk and he stopped and grabbed the evening newspaper and walk on into the house and laying the paper on the coffee table. And then he walked on into the kitchen where his wife was at and said,” what made Lisa want to start her homework early. She usually waits after dinner”. “Well she just thought she would start her homework earlier tonight and she would like to ask you a question about what I can’t say, but she will tell you all about it”. “Alright, then I will go and ask her,” so then he walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room where Lisa was at doing her homework. Then Lisa said,” daddy do you think I can get a pet next week for my birthday?” “Funny you should ask that because miss Lench across the street got A sign in her yard,” saying ” free kittens “to a good home, I was thinking along the same lines myself. Maybe you would like to have one of miss Lench’s kittens for your birthday! “No, daddy I would like to have a dog for my birthday! But, they cost a lot of money to get a dog and where did you get this idea about a dog? Lisa said, from this dog I seen today in the pet shop down by the schoolyard. Then mommy hollered out saying dinner’s ready. Then dad said we will talk more about this dog idea after dinner, let’s go eat. So, Lisa and her dad walked back into the kitchen for dinner and they sit down at the table and started eating’ their dinner. Then Lisa’s mother said, ” did Lisa ask you that question yet. “He said yes she did, but I said, “a dog cost too much money.” I told her miss Lench is given away some kittens. “She wants a dog.” “I know she wants a dog but we can’t afford a dog. “We said she could have anything she wanted for her birthday. Alright since you put it that way. She can get the dog. We will pick it up first thing in the morning. Then, Lisa “, oh thank-you mommy and daddy. I am going to bed right now. “Then mommy said, so early honey.” “Yes, mommy I can’t wait till tomorrow morning get’s here. Then mommy’s dad said do you have a name yet for the dog? “Yes I have, I called her Coal”. Since I first saw her since she’s black as coal. ” Then Lisa ran upstairs and went to bed and she went fast asleep before she knew it. It was in the morning she could hear mommy and daddy saying, ” it’s time to get up and to go get Coal.
