一只聪明的狗：A Clever Dog

Mrs. Hellen had a very clever dog named Black. He often helped her by going to buy bread. One morning she gave him a basket with twenty cents in it and told him to go to the bakery and get two loaves of bread. He took the basket in his mouth and trotted² down the street to the bakery. The baker¹ wanted to tease Black. So he took the money and put it into the drawer, but he did not give him any bread. Black put down the basket and began to bark. The baker laughed and patted him on the dead. He said, “You're a good dog.” He took two loaves of bread and put them into the basket. Black wagged his tail, picked up his basket and started for home. He walked proudly down the street. He carried the basket in his mouth. Everybody looked at him and smiled.
