Spot’s Red Dress
“Oh Daisy!” exclaimed Spot, when she saw her friend walking up the laneway. “I love your new red dress.”
“Why thank you!” exclaimed Daisy. “I bought it at the little dress shop in the village.”
“I would just love to own such a nice dress,” said Spot.
Jayden Hansen just came up the driveway. She just got off the school bus.
“Hi Spot!” exclaimed Jayden. “Hi Daisy!”
“Hi Jayden,” said Spot. “What do you think of Daisy’s dress? Isn’t it beautiful?”
“Yes,” said Jayden. “It is.”
Later that evening, Jayden and Fawn were sitting on the bench outside.
“Valentine’s Day is coming up soon,” said Fawn. “I want to get something really special for Spot.
“I know what you can get for her,” said Jayden. “And it will be perfect for Valentine’s Day.”
“Really,” said Fawn.
“Yes,” said Jayden. “Daisy came over today and Spot admired the new red dress that she was wearing.”
“Does that mean that I will have to go to a dress shop?” asked Fawn. “Cause if that is the case, I’m not going.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Jayden.
“You will,” said Fawn.
Fawn and Jayden went into the village that Saturday. They went into the village dress shop and they saw the red dress right away. However, when they enquired about the price of it, Fawn was very disappointed.
“I can’t afford that,” said Fawn to Jayden, once they stepped outside. “What am I going to do?”
“I don’t know,” said Jayden. “I was going to help you out but I don’t even have that much money.”
Fawn and Jayden started walking home. They passed by the fabric shop.
“Wait here,” said Jayden.
Jayden went into the fabric shop and a few minutes later she came out with a parcel under her arm and a big smile on her face.
“What are you going to do?” asked Fawn.
“I’m going to make Spot a dress,” said Jayden.
Fawn and Jayden went home and Jayden spent the rest of the week sewing a dress for Spot. Each night, Fawn came over and talked to Jayden while she worked.
On Valentine’s Day, both Fawn and Jayden presented the dress to Spot.
“Oh I love this dress,” said Spot. “Thank you so much!”
