Spot
Reading edition
When I go to school, my dog Spot follows me. I try to get him to go back home. I say to him, “Spot, go home!” But he wants to say “Good-by” to me. He lifts his paw as if he wished to shake hands and say “Good-by.” I shake his paw and then Spot goes home. When he sees my mother, he barks. I think he wants to tell my mother that I have gone to school. When my sister and I come home from school, Spot is so glad that he runs to meet us. When my father comes home, Spot says “Bow, wow!” That is his way of saying “Hello.”
