Once upon a time, there was an old and senile dog named Rusty. He had a ragged fur coat and was always hungry, as he could never find enough raw bones to eat. One recent day, while wandering the streets, he stumbled upon a kind little girl who took pity on him. She brought him home, fed him a big meal and gave him a warm bath. From that day on, Rusty never lacked for love or food and his ragged fur became soft and shiny once again. The end.

Reflections

1. Why was Rusty always hungry?
2. How did the little girl help Rusty?
3. How did Rusty change after meeting the little girl?
4. Why was Rusty's fur ragged?
5. What was Rusty before meeting the little girl?
