Sara and Tom were going to visit their grandma. They packed their bags with toys, books and clothes. They were very excited to see her and her big house.
When they arrived, grandma hugged them and gave them cookies. She said, "Welcome, my dear ones. Come, let me show you your room. You can unpack your bags there." She led them upstairs to a cozy room with two beds and a window.
Sara and Tom followed her and put their bags on the floor. They started to unpack their things and put them on the shelves and drawers. Sara took out her favorite doll, Lily, and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you will like it here. Grandma has a lot of fancy things. She has a big piano, a shiny mirror and a fluffy rug. Maybe she will let us play with them."
Tom took out his toy car, Max, and zoomed it around the room. He said, "Max, you will like it here too. Grandma has a big yard, a swing and a slide. Maybe she will let us ride them."
But then they heard a loud bark from downstairs. They looked out the window and saw a big dog running towards the house. It had black fur, sharp teeth and a red collar. It looked angry and mean.
Sara and Tom felt scared. They said, "Who is that? Is that grandma's dog?"
Grandma came into the room and smiled. She said, "Don't worry, my dears. That is Judge. He is my dog. He is very friendly and gentle. He just likes to greet people. Come, let me introduce you to him. He will be your friend too."
She took their hands and led them downstairs. Sara and Tom hoped that grandma was right. They hoped that Judge would not bite them or their toys. They hoped that he would like them and their things. They hoped that they would have a fun and safe visit.
