It was a cold winter Sunday morning. Penny woke up and looked out of the window. She thought, “I’m not going to play outdoors today. It’s windy and snowy. I am going to stay at home all day.” Then she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Suddenly the door opened and her mother came in. She said, “Penny, wake up! It’s time to take Toby for a walk.”
Penny opened her eyes and sat on the bed. She looked at her mother and said, “I don’t want to get up. I don’t want to take Toby for a walk in the snow. I’m going to stay in my warm bed for the whole day.”
But her mother answered, “Penny, get up! Toby wants to go out. He is your dog. You must take him for a walk.”
“I don’t want to,” said Penny and closed her eyes.
“OK,” said her mother. “If you don’t want to take care of Toby, I will give him to Andrew or Helen. They will be happy to take Toby for a walk and play with him.” She closed the door and went into the kitchen.
Penny stayed in her bed. “I don’t want to get up. But I don’t want to give Toby to Andrew or Helen either,” − she thought.
Penny sighed and put on her clothes. “All right, Mum. I’m going to take Toby for a walk.”
It was cold outside. Toby barked and ran around in the snow. He tried to catch snowflakes. He was nice and funny and Penny smiled, “Oh, Toby, I love you. I’m sorry I didn’t want to take you for a walk.” And they started playing hide−and−seek. When Penny and Toby came back home, they were cold but happy.
After breakfast Penny’s mother said, “Penny, can you …?”
“No! I don’t want to,” Penny said, before her mum could finish the sentence.
“I was going to ask you to help me make some chocolate biscuits, but if you don’t want to …” Penny liked to help her mother in the kitchen and she liked chocolate biscuits very much.
“Oh, I want to do it, Mum. Let’s make some biscuits,” Penny said. “And I’m sorry, Mum.”
They spent the rest of the morning in the kitchen. The biscuits turned out very tasty.
