Moti and the Rabbit

One day Anu and Adil went for a walk to the
lake. They took Moti their dog with them. Moti loved
to swim and play in the lake. Adil threw a stick into
the water and said, "Jump, Moti! Go and fetch the
stick."
Into the water Moti went with a big splash. He
paddled and swam and soon came out of the water with the stick in his
mouth. “Good boy!” said Adil.
Moti did not like the game as much as Adil because the water was a
little cold. They had a fine time for a while with Moti. Then they set out for
home. It was getting late and they could not stay long.
On the way home, Moti saw a rabbit. Away he
went after it as fast as he could go. Anu and Adil ran
too but they could not keep up with Moti and the rabbit.
When they got home, Moti was already there. Adil said, "Where is the
rabbit, Moti?" Moti gave Adil a funny look and went away. He curled up on
the rug and went to sleep. He dream of chasing rabbits.
