Xerxes was a brown little hyper dog that belonged to Yale. They both loved taking a walk every evening.
One day, as usual, Xerxes and Yale were excitedly walking down the road when Xerxes saw a bone.
Immediately, Xerxes left Yale's side and went after the bone.
"Xerxes, come back here!" Yale shouted. Xerxes ignored him.
The bone started bouncing down the road while Xerxes chased after it.
Yale was scared that he might either loose Xerxes or he might come to harm, so he ran after Xerxes.
As Yale ran after Xerxes, he called out, "Xerxes! Xerxes! stop!
Yet, the dog ignored the call.
The bone took a turn into a dark alley, still Xerxes did not turn back. The more they moved, the darker it became.
Suddenly, Xerxes found himself surrounded by other bones.
More and more bones kept coming out.
"You are Xerxes?" The bones growled in unison.
"Ye...ye.. yes," Xerxes answered in fright. "Ple... Please let...let me go." He begged.
Immediately, Xerxes started to pee on himself.
The bones ignored him. They continued to close in on him.
"Pleeeeeeeease, let me go!" Xerxes cried out.
Xerxes wished he had listened to Yale.
To be continued in the book titled: "Xerxes And The Happy Bones," ( yet to be published).
