Her poor dog

Jim was sixteen. He left school, but he did not find any work for a long time. Then he began selling brushes to ladies in their houses. He went to the front doors of the houses and knocked at them, or rang the bell.

Then the lady came to the door, and Jim said, 'I've got some beautiful brushes here.' Some ladies did not want any brushes, but others bought some from him.

Last Monday he came to the front door of one house and rang the bell.

A big dog came round the corner. It was angry, and Jim was afraid.

Then a lady came to the door and shouted at Jim, 'Stop attacking my poor dog! Take your leg out of its mouth!'
