Erik+and+the+dog

====There was once a little boy named Erik. Erik lived in California with 3 other brothers, 2 older and one baby brother. Erik had a strict, control freak mom, Erik had short blonde hair, and he was more on the sensitive side of his personality. Erik would trade any thing he had that was valuable for a dog. He dreamed of having a dog since he could talk until now when he was 9 years old. The only thing that was getting in the way of that idea was of corse his parents. They didn't want to get him a dog just because they were not the kind of people that wanted a dog. Erik owned 2 other animals, a hamster and a gold fish the kind of things that wouldn't bother his parents. But one day while Erik was walking to school he decided to take a different route to school that he knew of. When he got to the road again he saw a really big bull dog next to some trash cans and than he sparked an idea. He figured out a plan of how to bring it home. He tied the dog to a tree went to school his and surprisingly the dog was still there at the end of the day. He made sure his parents were not looking when he took his dog into his back yard, gave him food and tied it off. In the morning it was Saturday, Erik woke up and looked out side and saw that marshmellow (his dog) was not tied to the apple tree he had left him on. He raced past his sleeping brothers, slide down the stairs and and ran into his back yard in his pajamas. Erik checked every where he could for marshmellow. Marshmellow! he yelled. When his mom finally couldn't stand the noise that he was making she walked outside and asked him what was wrong. But he wasn't going to be stupid enough to tell his mom the truth, so he told her I don't know! Because he could not think of some thing else. His mom told him to come inside and eat breakfast. After breakfast Erik went outside to look some more, he started looking around the neighborhood and when he looked at the house that had the trash cans where he had found marshmellow, he saw a little girl that had a leash around marshmellow and she was petting him. When Erik saw that he started to cry when he found out that he took a dog that was owned by some body else, but mostly that he could not keep the dog for himself. But he figured out that there was nothing that he could have done about it. So Erik walked home to go do nothing like he always did on the weekends. But later on he had became friends with the family that had owned the dog first and they all let Erik play with there dog as long as they were home.====
