It is Monday morning. Tim and his friends are walking to school. As usual, they play, they tell each other jokes. They have fun and they laugh a lot.
On the way to school, there is a house with a big garden. They walk past the house gate every day.
One day, while they were walking, Tim stopped suddenly. He had heard a terrifying growl behind him.
He turned pale. He was as white as paper. He turned around very slowly. To his biggest surprise, he saw a huge and terrifying dog. He and his friends started running without looking back.
On the next street corner Tim's friends stopped. Tim didn't. He kept on running until he arrived at school. His friends couldn't stop laughing. "Tim might have peed down his trousers." One of them said.
At school everybody heard about the story. Everybody started laughing too. Tim became a joke. Poor Tim.
On the next day, Tim's dad followed him to school. He needed to go to the bank. The bank was next to the school.
On the way to school, Tim was taking the detour he was now used to. His father stopped him. He said he was in a hurry and there was no time to go trough another street. Tim's daddy didn't know the story. He did't know why Tim didn't want to take that street. Suddenly, his father got the fright of his life.
While they were going past the house the dog turned up at the gate. The dog growled and shook the gate, making all of that noise sound like the world was falling apart. At the same time, the owner of the dog popped up. He came out of the blue.
"Sorry, I hope my dog didn't scare you." He then threw the dog a biscuit and the dog looked as sweet as a rabbit. "He is just a hungry dog, that's all! Give him a treat and you can even pat him on the head." Tim tried it and it was true. The dog was as sweet as a puppy with the treat. Tim's dad said goodbye and rushed to the bank.
