One day, an old dog walked into Noah’s yard. The dog didn’t look hungry or sick, just very tired.
Noah gave the dog a few pats on the head. The dog followed Noah into the house, slowly walked down the hall, and
fell asleep in the corner.
An hour later, the dog woke up, walked to the door, and Noah let him out.
The next day the dog was back. Once again the dog followed Noah into the house and slept in the corner for an hour. It was the same story the next day, and the next, and the next one after that.
Noah was very curious (好奇的). “What’s up with this dog?” he wanted to know. He had an idea. Noah pinned a note to the dog’s collar (项圈):
To the owner of this dog,
Your dog comes to my house every afternoon and has a short sleep. Why?
Noah
The next day the dog came to Noah’s house with a new note pinned to its collar:
He lives in a house with 6 children. He’s trying to catch up on his sleep. He can’t find a quiet corner here. Neither can I! Can I come with him tomorrow?
