EXCERPT As they were taking a short cut across the park, Buster suddenly stopped walking. “Come on, Buster,” said Hector. “Mom's waiting for us.” But Buster just stood there and started making some funny noises. It wasn't really a growl and it wasn't really a bark. It was like a cross between the two. A 'grark'. Then he coughed a bit and gave another grark. Hector looked at him curiously. “Buster, are you OK?” Buster looked at Hector, grarked again, and then he said, “Kay kay.” “Did you just say 'kay kay'?” Hector asked. “Nuh nuh,” said Buster. “Missa me kay kay.” “Huh?” Hector thought that the noises Buster was making were pretty weird. “Missay me ko kay,” said Buster. “Buster, are you trying to talk?” Hector said. Buster cleared his throat again and said, “Me say me OK.” So, thought Hector, all this studying and homework has finally made me go crazy. Now I think my dog can talk. “OK, Buster, let's go home. Mom will be worrying.” “Hokay Hector,” said Buster. Then he gave another grark, as if he were trying to clear his throat. “Me tawk funny.” “You sure do,” said Hector. “Come on.” Free for Prime and Kindle Unlimited Customers A perfect-length bedtime story - grab a copy today! tags: bedtime story, talking dog, talking animal, short stories for kids, short stories for children, bedtime stories for kids, funny bedtime story, kids ebook, children's ebook, kindle kids book, dog chapter books, animal chapter books
