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

We sat at the table and started to share our impressions of the day.

“I got acquainted with many interesting dogs, but I like Roberta Woods the most. She is so beautiful and talented!” said Mary.

“She is.” Betsy agreed.

“And I liked our camp’s chef, Garikos.” said Bob.

“Fox terrier?” Timmy asked.

“Yes. His dream is to go to Paris and to learn cooking secrets from the best French chefs.”

“It’s a pity that our friend Mikky did not come to the camp. He would love to meet Garikos. Mikky’s dream is to become a chef one day.

” I said.

“And I liked our leader, Michael’s story,” said Bill, “He said that he wants to open an ice-cream store.”

“I love ice-cream!” Timmy said. “But I am so tired. Please let’s go home and sleep.”

“Good idea, Timmy.” I said.

We finished supper and went to our nice cottage to sleep.

Before I went to bed I glanced at the window. I looked toward the forest. It was already dark, but the moon came out from behind the clouds and I saw a dog that was walking toward the forest.

Who would go to the forest at such a late time? Unfortunately I did not see who it was, but it seemed to me that it was a man dog.
