The Tug Toy

Chapter One: Meet the Dog

There once was a dog named Chase. He ate his two tug toys and wants another one, but he ate the others, and they won't buy another. So he goes out the door and starts barking. The lady of the house runs outside and grabs the leash and gets close to Chase and catches him. The next day when the kids go to school, he got out and started barking and got out for good.

Chapter Two: The Tug Toy

Finally Chase got to the store, and he tried to brake in once, and did not brake in. The next day he went back and broke through the doors, and the manager saw Chase and chased him all around the store. Then he finally got caught. The manager threw him out. Chase felt very sad. No tug toy. As he walked away moaning.

Chapter Three: The Sorry Sign

The next day Chase got an idea. "I should pay for the new tug toy if I want it, not steal it!" So he grabbed a dollar and ran to the store. He grabbed the tug toy, went up to the front desk, ad wrote, "sorry for yesterday. I want to buy this black, blue, pink, purple, and red tug toy." The manager forgave him and let him have the tug toy. And that's how Chase got another tug toy.
