From Dominic, by William Steig. Dominic is not like most dogs, he can say lots of sentences and think lots of interesting thoughts. |
Especially small nervous dogs make me very nervous. When we see a dog in the distance, I try to relax my body, make it go floppy. That way I don't get so tense and don't get so frightened when we pass by it.
This morning a few dogs were barking in the distance. I started wondering what they were saying. And then I realised something quite funny about dogs.
I said to my mother: "Have you realised, Mummy, that dogs have only one sentence? It's like they repeat the same lyric again and again. Their conversations can't be very interesting at all. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof."
We imagined a conversation between five dogs, stuck with one sentence each.
Dog 1: 'Hello, how are you today?'
Dog 2: 'Midget!'
Dog 3: 'I don't know about you but I'm feeling a bit hungry'.
Dog 4: 'Eeeew'.
Dog 5: 'How dare you?'
And we practiced the conversation until we couldn't stop laughing.
We decided that the best sentence would probably be something friendly like: "Hello, hope you are well today". That way nobody would be frightened of us and they'd probably not attack us either.
What sentence would you choose if you could only say one sentence again and again for the rest of your life?
Please leave your answers in the comments. I'm sure we'll find them interesting and funny too.
Have a good day. Iain.
Hola! Somos Diana, Mario y Ángela, hemos leído con mucho interés y diversión vuestra historia. Y para nosotros la frase sería "Hola me llamo Diana/Mario/Ángela y esta es la única frase que puedo decir para el resto de mi vida." Nos hemos reído mucho juntos. Gracias!!
ResponderEliminar¡Hola Diana, Mario y Ángela! Me gusta vuestra frase porque si dices "me das un trozo de chocolate", "me das un trozo de chocolate", "me das un trozo de chocolate", tendrías mucho chocolate pero estarías muy aburrido. ¡Muchas gracias por comentar!
