Ann and Frank

One day, Ann and Frank went to the lake with their dog Rover. Rover can swim well,

so Frank threw a stick into the water for him to fetch. “Jump, Rover! Jump in and get

the stick,” said Frank, and into the water Rover went with a big splash. Pretty soon he

came out with the stick in his mouth. Rover did not like the game as much as Frank

because the water was a little cold. They had fun for a while with Rover, and then set

out for home because it was late in the day, and they could not stay long.
