Щенок Рекс и его Рождественские Приключения. The Puppy Rex and His Christmas Adventures

”

“Yes, we want to do something good, but we just don’t know what? Can you help us? Do you have any ideas?” I ask our friends.

“Well, I have one idea!” Archie says. Archie is my sister’s classmate. He is a Dalmatian. “We can make gingerbread.”

“Yes, gingerbread is not very hard to make.” Mikky says. Mikky is my classmate. He is a Husky. “I know how to make it.”

“And then we can put the gingerbread into beautiful paper bags, put red ribbon on it and give it away.” Mary says. Mary is my schoolmate. She is a Spaniel.

“I like this idea!” Betsy says. “We will make gingerbread during Christmas time.”

“I want to help you. Can I do it with you?” Mary asks.

“Of course you can!” Betsy answers.

“And I want to help you too!” Archie and Mikky say together.

“Yes, let’s make it all together!” Betsy says. “We will have a lot of fun.”

“Also we can go to our friends’ houses and sing Christmas carols together.” Archie says.

“I love to sing carols!” Mary says.

“And we can draw Christmas cards and put them secretly at other dog’s doors.

“They will be so excited to find Christmas cards at their doors!” Betsy smiles.

“Now I see how many things we can do together during Christmas time.” I say. “Let’s make a Christmas Team!”

“Yes, let’s make a special team for Christmas! We will think what we can do for others. We will share our ideas and do it together!” Betsy says.

“This is wonderful!” Mary is excited.

“I want to be a member of the Christmas Team!” Archie says.

“We will have a lot of fun together!” Mikky smiles.

The big break between our lessons is over. We need to go back to our classes. But we are very happy that we have a Christmas team now. We can’t wait to do something good together!
