UFLI

Callum the dog had a reddish tint to his fur.  He had a fondness for the softness of his bed. His stillness and restfulness were palpable.  He was thankful for the freshness of the water in his tub. But a sudden wildness took hold! Callum jumped out. He had a selfish streak of childish boldness.  He went from helpful to helpless in his quickness. "My goldfish!" he barked. Callum's fondness for his goldfish was unstoppable. He was a good dog.


Callum, the golden dog, had a restful nap in his bed.

When he got up, he went in the bath to freshen up. 

Callum was thankful for the freshness of the hot water. It felt blissful. 

But then, Callum felt a sudden wildness come over him. He jumped out of the tub and ran about!

Callum was drenched! He ran with such swiftness as water dripped from his golden locks. Callum was unstoppable!

All of a sudden, Callum could not see! He felt helpless!

Callum stopped running and sat down. "Where am I?" he asked. Had he gotten himself stuck?

The children tugged the rag off of Callum. They were just trying to be helpful! Callum could see again!

The kids patted Callum until his golden locks were soft and spotless.

Callum was very thankful for their kindness, but now he felt as if he could use another nap!
