Step 4: Use this list to make sure you are ready to steal a dog.
1. Are you sure you have found the right dog? Yes ___ No ___
2. Can you open the gate? Yes ___ No ___
3. Do you have some rope or string? Yes ___ No ___
4. Do you have a good place to keep the dog? Yes ___ No ___
Step 5: Things to do after you have stolen the dog:
1. Be sure to act nice to him so he won’t be afraid.
2. Play with him some so he will like you.
3. Make sure you put him in a safe place where he won’t get wet if it rains.
4. Tie up the rope or string so he can’t run away.
5. Find him some food and water
Step 6: When you find some signs about the lost dog, take him back to his owner, get the money, and you are done.
BUT I drew a big circle around the word BUT.. Then I wrote: If there are no signs, you will have to find the owner of
the dog and help them make some signs. While you are doing that, you will have to practice looking nice and not like
a dog thief. Remember to take real good care of the dog so he won’t be hungry or sad or anything.
THEN
I cicled the word THEN and under that I wrote
You will have to wait and see what happens next.
Step 7: Remember
Sometimes, the more you stir it, thr worse it stinks.
Step 8: If you want to, you can take the dog back and tell the owner that you don’t want the reward money after all.
Here is what will happen if you decide to do that:
1. The owner will be really happy and she can give the money back to her uncle Haywood.
2. The dog will be happy because he is back home where he belongs instead of on that nasty porch. 3. You will be happy
because you won’t feel bad about stealing a dog, even though you still live in a car.
4. When you stop stirring, it will stop stinking.
Or
You can take the dog back and get reward monet like you planned.
THAT
is the decision you will have to make.
Step 9:Those are all the rules for how to steal a dog.
But
DO NOT STEAL A DOG
because
it is NOT a good idea
Was it really, really wrong to do what I was doing - or was it just a little bit wrong?
...............................
I was doing this for Mama and Toby and me. To help us have a real place to live. Not a car.
What was so wrong about that?
아이의 생각이 옿고 그름을 판다나하기를 떠나서
어려운 생활속에서도 웃음을 잃지 않고 가족을 위해(?) 무엇을 할수 있는지 생각하기도 하고
가족을 위해 세탁소에가서 세탁도 하고
개를 위해 먹을 것을 따로 떼어 놓는 아이
한해가 지나가는 연말이 되니
불현듯 어려운 환경에서 살아가는 아이들이 우리 주변에도 많다는 생각이 듭니다
비록 어려운 환경이지만 용기를 잃지 않고 힘차게 살아 갔으면 좋겠습니다
국가에서 조금만 더 조금만 더 어려운 사람들을 위해 힘써 줬으면 좋겠구요
