It was a sunny morning. Rachel was playing with her dog, Eddie when a man with dark hair and spectacles
approached her. He gave her some dog food for her dog. He told her that it was special food to make dogs
healthy.
Rachel ran into the kitchen and put all the dog food into Eddie's food bowl. Eddie followed her.
When Eddie saw the food, he sniffed it several times before eating it. To Rachel's astonishment, sh saw
Eddie shrinking!
"Oh my, oh my!" she shrieked.
Eddie was now smaller than her palm. Rachel picked Eddie up
and put him on her palm.
"Poor doggy, what am I supposed to do now?" she said.
Then Rachel thought of a
plan. She ran back into the garden. The man who had given her the dog food was still there talking to
someone.
Rachel approached the man. She told him what had happened to Eddie. The man apologised as he had
given her the wrong dog food. He gave Rachel another packet which she put into Eddie's food bowl.
After Eddie ate it, he turned into his normal size again.
The End
