The Lost Dog — книга для чтения (A2)

There is a small dog. It is brown and white. The dog looks scared. Maya moves slowly and says, “Hello, little dog.”

The dog does not run away. It looks at Maya with big eyes.

Maya sits down and gives the dog some food from her bag. The dog eats quickly. Maya smiles and says, “You must be hungry.” Maya looks for a name tag, but there is nothing. She thinks, “This dog is lost.” She cannot take the dog to school, so she calls her mother. Her mother says, “Bring the dog home after school.” Maya goes to school, but she thinks about the dog all day.

After school, she runs back to the bench. The dog is still there. It looks happy to see her.

Maya takes the dog home. Her brother is very excited. He says, “Can we keep it?” Her mother says, “First, we must find the owner.” The next day, Maya makes posters. She writes: “Lost dog. Small, brown and white. Friendly.” She puts the posters on walls and near shops.

Many people see the posters. Some people call, but it is not their dog.
