Thereafter, answer the questions. “Bring Your Pet Day” Disaster 1 I had my backpack on my back and a leash in my hand. It was “Bring Your Pet to School” day! My dog Jax was happily trotting beside me as we walked to the bus stop. Josie had a fish bowl with her goldfish and John had a crate with his cat, Maxie, inside. We were all excited. 2 Once we got on the bus, things started to go downhill. It was so noisy! In addition to the normal chatter of the kids, the animals were extremely loud as well. I wished they would use their inside voices. The smell was terrible! When we were seated, another dog rushed up to us with a leash trailing behind her. 3 The bus driver’s voice came over the speaker, “Please hold on to your pets! It is dangerous to have them running all over the bus!” 4 Finally, we were at school. As we were walking off the bus, I looked at the schoolyard. Some animals were running free through the campus with kids chasing them in every direction! 5 They were making a mess. Their food and bedding was strewn over the grass. Fur was floating through the air. 6 My classroom smelled worse than the bus. Mrs Doltyn looked frazzled as she instructed us to keep our pets in their cages. It was either that or keep the leashes tied to our desks during class. As she was talking, she slowly started to turn into a parrot... 7 I woke up, snug in my bed. No wonder our school doesn’t have a “Bring Your Pet to School” day I thought. Source: www.k5learning.com Word count: 253 words ### Page 3 3 Questions: 1.1 Why were the children excited?
