READ THE PASSAGE Think about what a real dog can do.
Sparky the Wonder Dog
Bella’s dog Sparky likes to run and explore. Bella thinks that Sparky is like
a magician. One moment Sparky is in the backyard and then, all of a sudden,
he’s gone!
Sparky escaped again last week, so Bella set out to find him. She called out
Sparky’s name as she walked. Bella even shook Sparky’s bag of dog chow.
“Treats! Treats!” yelled Bella. Sparky loved his treats, but he did not appear.
Then Bella stopped. She smelled some meat grilling. She spotted a cloud of
smoke from behind a house. Bella headed there and peeked in the yard. Sure
enough, there was Sparky. He stood on his hind legs in front of a grill. Sparky
was whistling and flipping burgers. Bella could see Sparky’s mouth drool. Bella
wondered where Sparky got the apron he was wearing.
