Robbie's dog Roxy was smart. At least Robbie THOUGHT so. Robbie had found him on a street. The puppy looked cold and unhappy. Robbie took the puppy home and fortunately his mum DIDN'T MIND it. One day Robbie saw the ‘Dogs' contest’ advert. According to it, all dogs that were able to perform tricks could participate.
"I wish Roxy KNEW some tricks”, Robbie thought. “But Roxy can’t perform any.”
He decided to take Roxy to the contest anyway, not as a participant but as a viewer. There WERE lots dogs on the contest ground. The collars of some dogs WERE DECORATED with medals. The contest started, and the judge threw a ball. Roxy suddenly pulled away from Robbie and began running fast. He was the FIRSTdog to catch the ball and he didn’t forget to bring it back to the judge!
“The winner is the dog with no entry name on my list. Whose dog is this?” asked the judge.
“It’s MY dog." said Robbie. The judge handed Robbie a small symbolic medal and a certificate for free dog food.
“Congratulations! You HAVE WON!” said Robbie to Roxy and gave him a big hug.
“Let’s go home and celebrate. Mum will be surprised when she LEARNS the news.”
I remember my uncle Thomas very well. My mum says I can’t because I was a little girl, only three at the time. But my memories of him are still very vivid. Uncle Thomas was a sailor. When he returned from his last trip, he brought several large BOXES with him. Inside there WERE bits of wood, metal, and painted cloth. “What is it for?” I asked my uncle. He GAVE me a broad smile and said: “Have your breakfast first and then come to the backyard. You WILL SEE everything with your own eyes.” When I came to the backyard, Uncle Thomas WAS READING an instruction manual. It took all his attention because the manual WAS WRITTEN in Spanish, a language my uncle didn’t know very well. All in all, it took HIM a couple of weeks to assemble the object from the parts. To all my questions he said that it was a machine that COULD fly like a bird. I was probably the only one in the family who took his words seriously. They could never believe that soon we were going to see one of the FIRST airplane flights in the country.
