Winston watched rain pour down. He sighed. "This is just typical! School holidays and it rains!" His younger sister,
Hannah, didn't answer and carried on rolling around the floor with Grandma's dog, Mac. A moment later, the door opened
and 16－year－old Sophie, headphones glued as usual to her ears, bounded upstairs.
Mac certainly needed no second chance and was out of the room and into the garden before Hannah could get to her
feet. Winston yelled, "We're supposed to keep him in. He doesn't know his way around this end of town." Grabbing two

coats. Hannah joined her brother on the step, just in time to see the black and white dog walked slowly up the road. "No
time to leave a note to Mom," Winston decided, taking charge. "Let's get him. The last thing Grandma needs to know when
she's in hospital is that we've lost her dog," he added.
The two children rushed toward Mac. Wagging（摆动）his tail energetically, he raced off toward the park. Mac led
them toward the gateway to the town park and set off at once toward the duck pond. Winston and Hannah were close

behind but cannoned（猛撞） round the corner straight into a woman pushing a baby carriage. "Watch where you are
going," she yelled. "Sorry," they said. "I can't see Mac any more," Winston announced when the woman had gone on her
way.
A few minutes of racing along the paths in the park finally convinced the children that they had lost Mac. "We're never
going to find him by ourselves," Hannah said. "A bus! Come on! Let's go home and phone Mom," Winston shouted. Before
Hannah could argue, he had pulled his sister onto the bus and paid their fares.
Later, Hannah did try to tell him that the bus was going the wrong way but by then it was too much late. They both
realized they were going east instead of west. Hannah burst into tears. She cried, "I'm cold. I'm scared because we'll be in
real trouble now. We've lost Mac!"
