A little boy had a dog.
The dog ran into the bush, where he found a bone.
The dog wanted to eat the bone.
The little boy wanted to go home.
But the dog would not go home.
Then the little boy began to cry.
Along came a little grey rabbit.
The little grey rabbit said, “Why are you crying, little boy?”
The little boy said, “My dog will not come home.”
The little grey rabbit said, “Stop crying, little boy. I will drive the dog home.”
The rabbit ran at the dog, and said,“Go home, dog! Go home!”
“Woof! woof!”said the dog, and away ran the little grey rabbit.
Along came a sly brown fox.
The sly brown fox said, “Why are you crying, little boy?”
The little boy said, “My dog will not come home.”
The sly brown fox said, “Stop crying, little boy. I will drive the dog home.”
The sly brown fox ran at the dog, and said,“Go home, dog! Go home!”
“Woof! woof!” said the dog, and away ran the sly brown fox.
Along came a tall kangaroo.
The tall kangaroo said,“Why are you crying,little boy?”
The little boy said, “My dog will not come home.”
The tall kangaroo said,“Stop crying, little boy. I will drive the dog home.”
The tall kangaroo sprang at the dog, and said, “Go home, dog! Go home!”
“Woof! woof!” said the dog, and away hopped the tall kangaroo.
A wise old magpie was sitting on a tree. He said, “Why are you crying, little boy ?”
The little boy said, “My dog will not come home.”
The wise old magpie flew at the dog and said, “Go home, dog! Go home!”
“Woof! woof!” said the little dog, and home he ran.
