Little Tom down the street calls our dog "the keep dog". Zip is a sheep dog. But when
Tom tries to say "sheep", it comes out "keep". And in a way Tom is right. Zip is always
bringing things home for us to keep! I'll tell you about some of them. Zip's first present
was a shoe. It was made of green silk. We didn't know how Zip found the shoe. But after a
moment Mary, my big sister, told me the shoe had a strange smell. I nodded (点头) and held
my nose. "What do you think it is?" "It smells like something for cleaning. I think someone
tried to clean a spot (污点) off the shoe. Then he put it at the door to dry." I said.
"We should take it back." "We can't," said my sister. "I know we can't," I said."We don't
know where Zip found it." "Maybe little Tom is right," Mary said. "Maybe Zip is a keep
dog!"
