Chapter 4Carnival
It is autumn now. Today we have Carnival at school! I have got a pirate costume. I put it on. I put on a big black hat. Now I look like a real pirate!
Betsy has got a princess costume. She looks very beautiful in it. She has got a pretty blue dress and a golden crown on her head. Betsy looks like a real princess!
Guess what costume Timmy puts on? He wants to look like a frog! So he puts on a green frog costume!
The party starts. There are a lot of puppies at the party. They are all our schoolmates. All puppies have got different costumes.
We meet Bob and Bill. Bob has got a yellow Lion Aslan costume (from the book “Chronicles of Narnia”. This is Bob’s favorite book). And Bill has a brown Eagle costume.
We dance a lot. Betsy is the best dancer. She dances like a real princess. We are tired of dancing, we want to play now.
“Puppies, do you want to play a leapfrog game?” I ask.
“Yes, we do!” puppies answer.
“We have got a real frog – Timmy,” I say. Everyone laughs. We begin the game. We have a lot of fun. We like to play leapfrog. We like to jump. We like to run.
After the game, we have treats! The treats are very tasty: sweets, orange juice, toffee candy, ice-cream, sausages and bones with meat! We like treats a lot.
Now the party is over and it’s time to go home. The Carnival is fun.
