Benny was always out playing and came home every day dirty and

like to have a bath. Sometimes, he would fall asleep without a bath
and his bed also got very dirty. One day, his mother got him a puppy.

The puppy had fallen into a puddle and was wet and dirty. He ran

around the house and jumped on Benny’s bed. This made Benny very
