Peto who is from Kuni, jumped carelessly over the sick dog that was asleep on the driveway and was laughing all the way to school.

Laughing all the way to school, Peter soon found out that he was terribly, terribly late.

Sadly enough, he was given an embarrassing punishment in front of the whole school.

His punishment was to carry the sick dog to the Principal’s house while the school gave him a rousing and deafening applause.

But that was not all because he was given a bucket, some soap and a brush to wash the sick old dirty dog.

Poor Peto had no choice but to do what he was told and his self-esteem really dropped to zero degrees.

“I am going to kill you, you stupid sick old dog!” he mumbled to dog as he washed her in agony.

After this embarrassing encounter, Peto felt that he would never ever face his school mates again as long as came to school.

However, as he finished washing the dog, something awfully pleasant happened to drown this  embarrassing situation and he was lost for words.

“Peto, you can now  freshen up in the Principal’s shower block over there then you can have this early lunch before you run home and thank you for washing my poor old charming Lassie!” invited Maria, the Principal’s wife.
