Title: The Great Dane
The Great Dane
It was almost fathers day. I only needed 5 more dollars to get one of those nifty sanders my dad's always wanted. I decided to walk to the ball park to find some coins. People are always drooping coins there.
The ball park is like a ATM that just gives you money than withdrawing it out of your account.I once found 20 bucks in an old box of some sort. After looking in the top seats where they are about a hundred degrees in the summer,I decided to quit for the while.I had found nothing but some old pop cans.
I went the long way to our apartment, through the park, hoping to find some more coins.It was about 1:38 in the afternoon. I walked by a bench with a lady holding some sort of rope and going, 'Oh dear, Oh dear...'
I asked, 'What's a matter?'
She said sadly, 'My Great Dane Prince has chewed his leash and ran away. She added, 'Would you find him for me? I'll pay you five dollars O.K.?'
Five dollars! that was just what I needed I said, 'O.K.'and started looking.
It took me about 25 minutes to search the park(not that I thought he was in the park). I better find that dog soon. I decided to look in the dark alleys where the trash is. After a while of looking, thinking, and more looking I decided I'd better start to our apartment.
When I got close to our apartment what do I see? It was that dog chewing on a stolen bone. 'Oh, come 'ere you old dog' I ordered.
When I started walking he followed very nicely. Suddenly Prince barked and shot out across the street and brought back what resembled a small piece of paper. After examining it I knew It was a 20 dollar bill.
After that I Jogged Prince back to his owner and started back to our apartment. When I opened the door Mom was cooking. When she saw me she said, 'Now what happened? Honestly, I wish you would plan and then tell me where you going.'
'Oh, nothing' I said with 25 dollars in my pocket.
