The Police Show
Today it was a great day. The police came to visit us with their dogs to make a show for us. All of us went into the yard to watch the show. The policemen gave them orders and they obeyed, but one of the dogs was a little bit naughty because he did not always do what his master ordered him to do. We laughed when this happened.

The first order was for the dogs to lie on the floor and look up but the black dog did not obey. All the children laughed, but although we laughed this made us think that it is not always right not to obey. Then, the dogs had to walk beside their owners. After that they had to do something difficult because they had to pass between the policemen's legs. I think that they teach them to do this to learn to pass between things.

It shows that these dogs exercise everyday because they are fit. I realized this when they were ordered to jump over a barrier. Who knows if we would have jumped?! We clapped and clapped and the more we clapped the more the dogs wagged their tails. Were they thanking us?

Suddenly we began to smell something burning. Oh we realized that the policemen had lighted fire around the barriers. We felt very curious but at the same time we were afraid for the dogs. The dogs were not afraid. They were courageous. They jumped into the opening of the barrier without being hurt. The dogs did this successfully. Again we clapped and clapped and they wagged and wagged their tails. This time they even put out their tongues as if they were smiling at us. All the children were excited when the policemen allowed us to caress the dogs. The dogs were so friendly. They were so cute and we were so happy!
