Pip and the Bug
Pip the pup wanted to run and play. He saw the big, hot sun. “I want to run!” said Pip. But a big, fat bug sat on his rug. Pip could not run off the rug. He felt sad.
Mom saw Pip. She came to him. “Pip, you want to run?” Mom asked. Pip made a little hum. Mom gave Pip a big hug. She saw the bug on the rug. Mom held a cup. She said, “We can tug the bug into the cup.” Mom tugged the bug. It went into the cup. Pip was so full of fun! He ran out in the sun. He dug in the mud. Pip had fun!
