passage: Once upon a time I had a dog named Toodles .
  He was black and white and had long floppy ears .
  He also had very short legs , but really big paws .
  Every Saturday we would go to the park and play Toodles ' favorite game .
  Toodles loved playing fetch .
  One Saturday , Toodles ran over to the pond because he saw ducks swimming there .
  He ran all around the pond , barking at the ducks .
  The ducks ignored him , and kept swimming .
  Toodles was n't having it !
  He jumped into the pond and started swimming toward the ducks , chasing around his new playmates .
  One of the ducks , braver than the others , poked Toodles with his beak - and then bit him right on one of his floppy ears !
  Toodles barked and ran out of the pond because the duck hurt his ear .
  Soaking wet , he ran toward where I was eating a sandwich on the grass and curled right up in my lap so I could make him feel better .
  After that , whenever he would see a duck , Toodles would run the other way .
