BILLY AND BRUISER.
Reading edition
ILLY is a small boy: Bruiser is a big dog. They are great friends. Billy gets on Bruiser's back, and treats him as if he were a horse.
Bruiser takes this as a good joke. He likes to have Billy play with him in this way. But it would not be safe for anybody else to do it.
Bruiser is a grand watch-dog. One day the old dog gave a fierce growl to keep off a butterfly.
He thought the butterfly was going to attack Billy. Billy had a good laugh at this; for, small as he is, he thinks he is a match for a butterfly.
UNCLE CHARLES.
