LEARNING TO LEAD

Once upon a time a little girl and a little dog set off on an adventure. The dog went one way, the girl went the other, the lead strained.

"Back!"shouted the little girl but was so surprised when the dog obeyed she fell right down on her behind.

Later that evening when she was having her bath the dog wandered in. Her Grandmother had told her that dogs were annoying when they watched one doing personal business. "Out!" the little girl roared. Surprisingly the little dog obeyed. The little girl was thrilled. She felt a very big girl indeed.
