The Dog That Dug—Part 1

An old dog liked to dig. That dog went digging on
afarm.® The dog made hole after hole after hole.® A
man on the farm said, “That dog must leave this
farm.”

So the dog went to a home to live with a boy and a
girl.© But the dog did not stop digging. The dog went
into the yard and dug five holes. Then the dog went
into other yards and dug ten more holes.

Soon there were holes in every yard. ®

digging holes.”

They made the dog stay inside for five days. Then
the dog went into the yard and dug five more holes.

was making a big, big hole. The boy said, “Get hold of
that dog and we will stop this digging.” ©
