My walk through the neighboorhood

One beautiful Saturday morning as I woke up and got myself out of bed, I looked out the window and seen many people outside doing chores in there yard. There were always many interesting things to do on a nice day like this one, so I decided to get dressed and go out outside for the afternoon and see what I could do.

As soon as I stepped outside I walked up to an old garbage can and in it I found a little lost puppy, so in amazement I suddenly took my little friend out of that old stinky garbage can and named him Stevie. He walked along with me so I decided to bring him on my journey through the neighborhood.

This little puppy wanted to go everywhere so I followed him all around, first he went into this little shack where we found many old objects that I think belonged to natives and were all carved out of wood and stone so I took myself and Stevie out of there before we got caught.

After this we walked alone the side walk and I quickly decided to show my pals my new puppy Stevie, I walked to his house and then I seen a bunch of my friends all on the street playing so I quickly walked over and they seen my little pup.

Later on we took a journey through the thick forest and I said to Stevie we might get lost so we then got back on the street, jumped a fence and seen a old farmers house. The farmer said to “leave now and take that old dog with you”, so quickly we hurried away and jumped the fence again. Then I decide to go and show my neighbor Johnny my new dog, but he was busy mowing his lawn. Then I made my way to my house and walked over Johnny’s fence and tied my dog and put him in his new dog house. Then my little brothers asked me what happened and I had no time to talk to them, I ran to the house to beg my mom to let me keep my friend I found. After enough begging she finally said sure you can keep him!
