Mini-Books The Ghost Dog’s Bone
Bartholomew the ghost dog was a very happy dog. He loved chasing butterflies, playing fetch with his bone, and napping in the warm sun. But one day, his bone disappeared! It was a big, juicy bone, and Bartholomew loved it dearly. He searched high and low, but his bone was nowhere to be found. Bartholomew was so sad he couldn’t even sniff out a tasty treat. He went to his best friend, a wise old owl named Oliver, for advice. «My bone is gone, Oliver!» he whined. «I don’t know what to do!» Oliver hooted, «The graveyard is a spooky place, Bartholomew, but maybe your bone is there!» Bartholomew shivered, the graveyard was dark and filled with mysterious shadows. He wasn’t sure he wanted to go there, but his love for his bone was too strong. He crept through the tall grass, past the mossy tombstones, and finally reached a large, black mausoleum. Bartholomew peeked inside. The air inside was cold and damp, but he could see it! His bone was lying on a dusty shelf. Bartholomew was so happy he wagged his ghostly tail! He jumped up and grabbed his bone. He was just about to leave when he heard a small, whimpering sound. It was a tiny, lost kitten, cowering in a corner. Bartholomew knew what he had to do. He brought the kitten the other half of the bone, and the kitten purred with delight. Bartholomew felt happy again, knowing he had helped someone else. Bartholomew and the kitten walked out of the graveyard together, sharing the bone and enjoying each other’s company. Bartholomew had learned that even though it was scary, sometimes helping others could make you feel even happier than finding your own bone. .. Why was Bartholomew sad? What did he do to find his bone? How did Bartholomew help the kitten? What kind of place was the graveyard? What kind of animal was Oliver? How did Bartholomew feel when he found his bone?
