The puppy Rex and a Mystery of the Golden Bone. Щенок Рекс и тайна золотой кости. - страница 7

“And now, dear puppies,” Michel said as he took the microphone, “We are going to play. Please stand all together in two big circles. One circle is inside of the other one. Those of you standing in the inner circle, please turn your faces to the puppies in the outer circle.”

All our company stood in the inner circle. I was standing between Bob and Mary; Betsy was standing to the Mary’s right and Bill and Timmy were standing to the Bob’s left. We saw puppies and big dogs standing in the other circle.

“Great, now we have two big circles,” Michel continued explaining the rules of the game. “Here are thirty balls. Each puppy in the outer circle will get a ball. You should throw the ball to a puppy, or a dog from the other circle and tell three things about yourself. First; your name, second; where are you from, and third; what is your biggest dream. Then the puppy who has the ball will tell three things about him or herself too. After that the puppy will take a step to the right and throw the ball to the next puppy and so on. We will play until all puppies and big dogs from both circles have gotten acquainted.

We took the balls and started to play.

A big dog (his breed was beagle) threw his ball to me.

“My name is Doctor Glosser,” he said. “I was born in Great Britain a long time ago, but when I was a child my parents, my father and mother, came to Vladivostok to explore the Far East. They were scientists. They loved this place so much that they stayed here all their life. I grew up here, got an education and became a doctor. Now I work in the Eagle’s nest camp. I love little puppies and my biggest dream is to build a hospital where all sick puppies can get well. What about you?”

I was very impressed with Doctor’s Glosser’s story and I was very glad to get acquainted with him. I threw the ball back to Dr. Glosser and introduced myself:

“My name is Rex. I am from Moscow and my biggest dream is to become big and strong like my father. He is a border guard.”

“A border guard is a very good profession. Good luck puppy Rex.”

“Thank you Doctor, it’s very nice to meet you!”

Betsy stood in front of puppy Clara. Clara started to talk first, “Hi again, you already know my name so I will not introduce myself one more time. I am from Moscow; I live very close to Red Square in a big mansion which used to belong to an ancient noble family of Count Streltsov. The mansion is very beautiful and very expensive. I told you, puppy girl, I always get the best things in this life.”
