Sam

By: Someone you don't know

    One fine snowy day on Snow White Hill, Lexi, a little girl, 

was playing in the yard when her mother came out. "Lexi, I 

need you to go down to the village to get some wood and a 

loaf of bread. We're all out." "OK Mom," Lexi said. Lexi got 

the money and the basket from her mother and went toward 

the village.

    Lexi got to the village and got the wood. She started to 

walk toward the bakery when she heard a small cry behind 

the bakery. "I think I'm going nuts," Lexi said and walked 

into the bakery.

    Lexi went into the bakery and greeted the baker. "Hello, 

John," said Lexi. "Hello, Lexi," said the baker. "I need a loaf 

for my mom," Lexi said. "Susan? She always needs bread. Oh 

well. Here's a loaf," said John. "Thanks, and there's one more 

thing." "Yeah?" said John. "I think I heard a noise behind 

your bakery," said Lexi. "Oh. That was Sam you heard." 

"Sam?" said Lexi confused. "Sam is a dog. He's been here 

forever. I found him a week ago and nobody wants him," John 

said, "Do you want him?" "Sure," said Lexi, "How much?" 

"He's free," said John, "Call him and take him home" 

"Thanks," said Lexi. "Anytime."

    "Sam," Lexi called. For a while, nothing happened then a 

medium sized, gray dog came running toward her. Lexi looked 

down at Sam. "Poor little dog. You must be tired. Follow me," 

she said to Sam. Sam and Lexi walked home.

    When Lexi came home with Sam, her mother asked, "What 

is that?" "It's Sam. I got him from the bakery. John said he 

found him and said Sam needed a home. Can we keep him?" 

Lexi asked and explained. "Well, if he needs a home, yes, we 

can keep him, but tomorrow, you need to get food and 

supplies for him," said Susan. "Thank you, Mom," said Lexi. 

They ate dinner, and Lexi hugged her mother goodnight and 

went upstairs.

    That night, Lexi and Sam went upstairs. Lexi got ready 

for bed and sat on her bed. "You know, you can sleep up on my 

bed," said Lexi. Sam just stared at her. "Tomorrow, we can 

go to the village and get some supplies for you," said Lexi. 

Once again, Sam stared at her. "Oh well, night Sam." Sam 

jumped on the bed, curled up and fell asleep. So did Lexi.
