The puppy Rex and a Mystery of the Golden Bone. Щенок Рекс и тайна золотой кости. - стр. 8

A puppy girl fell on the ground.

“And we have the first girl winner! Congratulations! Let’s see who it is?” Betsy stood up. “And our first winner is Betsy from Moscow! Put your paws together for this amazing, sportive puppy.”

Loud applause was heard from all sides. Only Clara did not applaud. She was standing with her paws crossed and with an offended expression on her face.

“And very soon we will find out who is the strongest among the puppy boys.” Michael continued.

Only three puppies were still in plank and I was one of them.

“Almost six minutes! Guys you are incredible!” said Michael.

Another puppy fell down. Now it was only me and a boy whose breed was Russian Greyhound.

“Seven minutes! Wow, wow, wow!” our leader yelled.

I really wanted to win and I honestly tried my best, but unfortunately my paws stopped listening to me and I fell on the ground. In two seconds the last puppy fell on the ground too.

“And we have a boy winner! It was a really hard competition! Seven minutes is a record for sure. Both of you puppies are very strong. And now let’s welcome our winner. Please stand up and tell us your name.”

Russian Greyhound slowly stood up.

“My name is Ivan Kropotkin.” he said.

“My congratulations, Ivan! Where are you from?” Michel asked.

“I am from Novosibirsk.”

“A very strong puppy from Siberia! Your applause!”

Everyone even Clara put their paws together.

“Please tell us how come you are so strong? How often do you exercise?” asked camp leader.

“I do samba four times per week!” answered Ivan.
