Logan
was an amazing little boy. He loved to play like puppies do. All of his favorite
shows had puppies in them. Logan wanted to be a puppy very, very badly. Puppies
were his favorite animal. Logan loved everything about puppies.
Logan liked cats okay. Nothing that cats did
interested Logan very much, though. Sometimes cats were grumpy, and they didn’t
really cuddle that much. Cats made Logan sneeze a whole bunch, too. Logan’s
grandma had a cat that slept all of the time. They just weren’t as cool to
Logan as puppies were.
Logan thought puppies were so
awesome. He also thought puppies were the cutest animal ever. They could do
tricks; play fetch, high five, and roll over. Puppies could run very, very
fast. Logan loved the way puppies gave him kisses. Everything that puppies did
made Logan smile.
Logan thought it would be fun to act
just like puppies do. He barked at his parents. Logan howled at the moon. He
crawled around on all fours; just like puppies do. It was so much fun being a puppy.
Logan thought he might be a puppy every day.
Logan got a little out of control
one day when he was pretending to be a puppy. He bit his little brother’s
finger. Logan thought that was what a puppy would do. Boy, was Logan wrong!
Logan’s little brother started to scream, and he was crying very loudly.
Logan didn’t mean to hurt his little
brother. He just wanted to play like a puppy. Something was terribly wrong with
Logan’s little brother. Little brother just could not stop crying. Logan’s
heart sunk down to his stomach.
“I’m sorry, little brother!” cried
Logan. He felt very bad for hurting his little brother. He loved his little
brother a whole bunch. They were best friends. Still, little brother just kept
crying and screaming.
Mommy came in, and hugged little
brother tight. She scolded Logan. Mommy said, “How dare you bite your little
brother, Logan!” It made Logan feel even worse that his mom was so upset.
Mommy grounded
Logan to his bedroom for the rest of the night. Logan tried to apologize, but
little brother just kept on crying. Mommy didn’t really want to hear his
apologies, either. Logan felt terrible.
Daddy came in Logan’s room that night, but only to
tell Logan he was very upset with him for biting his little brother. Even Daddy
was upset with him. Logan felt very alone when he was grounded to his bedroom.
That night was so awful for Logan. He could hear
everyone else laughing and playing. If only Logan would have thought more about
what would happen, before his little brother had gotten hurt. Logan was so sad
that he just sat in his room crying.
Being a puppy sure was tough. Logan just couldn’t
understand what had happened. Why can he bark, but not bite? He didn’t
understand. Logan did understand that it was lonely being grounded. Logan vowed
never to be a puppy again.
The next day, Logan woke up to his little brother
playing with his toys. He just smiled at Logan. He wasn’t mad at his big brother,
at all. “Little brother, I’m so sorry!” Logan apologized. Logan hugged his
little brother.
Mommy came in when she heard them playing. She asked,
“Did you learn your lesson, Logan?” He nodded his head yes. Logan sure did
learn his lesson. It was not fun to hurt his little brother.
“Oh yes, Mommy. I’m never going to be a puppy ever
again!” he cried. Logan meant it, too. It was terrible for him to see his
little brother so upset. Logan never wanted to see his little brother cry like
that ever again.
“Logan, you didn’t get grounded for acting like a
puppy. You got in trouble, because you bit your little brother and hurt him
very badly!” Mommy explained. “Look. You gave your little brother quite a bad bruise.”
Mommy was right. It was a terrible bruise, on little
brother’s arm. It looked just like a circle of Logan’s teeth. He didn’t know
that biting his little brother would hurt him. Now, Logan understood what had
happened.
Logan gave his little brother the bruise by biting
him. It wasn’t because he was being a puppy. “I’m so sorry,” Logan told his
little brother while he gave him a big hug. “I won’t ever bite you ever again.
I promise,” Logan said.
The two boys, or puppies, were together ever since. The
two had the most fun whenever they pretended to be puppies. Logan taught his
little brother how to be the best puppy he could be. Logan and his little
brother played many more little puppy games.
