Pip's Lost Bat

Pip wanted to play. He ran to get his red bag. He went to get his bat. Oh no! His bat was not in the red bag. Pip felt sad.

He went to look for it. Pip looked under his bed. No bat! He ran to look under his rug. No bat! Then, Pip saw Gus. Gus, his big dog, was by the wall. Gus was trying to sit on Pip’s bat!

“Gus, let go of my bat!” said Pip. Gus gave a wag. Pip gave Gus a pat. Gus let go of the bat. Pip had his bat! He ran out to play in the sun. What fun!
