THE DOG AND THE VIOLIN

LITTLE HOPE WAS PRACTICING

THE VIOLIN IN THE LIVING ROOM

WHILE HER FATHER WAS

TRYING TO READ IN THE DEN. 

THE FAMILY DOG

WAS LYING IN THE DEN

AND AS THE SCREECHING SOUNDS

OF LITTLE HOPE'S VIOLIN

REACHED HIS EARS,

HE BEGAN TO HOWL LOUDLY. 

THE FATHER LISTENED

TO THE DOG AND THE

VIOLIN AS LONG AS HE COULD.

THEN HE JUMPED UP AND

YELLED ABOVE THE NOISE,

"CAN'T YOU PLAY SOMETHING

THE DOG DOESN'T KNOW?!"
