As grace walked in the barn opening the stiff wooden door she gasped. "oh uncle Richards those are the cutest puppies ive ever seen! "
" Yes indeed, but upon this birth there was a tragedy. "
"what?"
"Miranda passed away after giving birth"
"oh no. What can I do?"
" I called you in for a very important duty. Only two of them will stay the other three will be sold and I need you two choose them. You will come here every day play with them feed them for the next two month and choose the strongest and the best friend."
"sorry uncle Richards but I'm busy and I can't do something so big. "
" If you do this, you may just keep one. "
" I don't know. My mom would freak out. "
" you can keep it here. "
"Here where Natalia is?"
"oh come on she hasn't done any harm. "
"not to you! "
"Gracelyn Richards if you do not do this you will not be able to come in here ever again."
"Fine. In one condition, Natala will not touch any of them! "
"agreed"
This is how it all started with a young girl obligated to care for the pups of a farmer.
Grace did exactly as told she came to the barn every day after school and cared for them and came back home until diner time. Every once in a while she would stay a little longer and her mom would get mad but grace didn't mind she absolutely loved the puppies.
And sometimes she would sketch the puppies and her teacher Mrs Percale would glare and ask "Gracelyn Richards what are you doing with your note book?"
" oh sorry, Mrs Percale I was just taking notes." Grace studdered.
"that's how I like it." the teacher said.
But soon the puppies grew older and began to look more curious.
