I Want a Puppy Though

But I do not want a fish, a turtle or a guppy. All I want for Christmas is a Golden Retriever puppy! You are not getting that, his mother said with feeling. Absolutely not said his Daddy, his head hitting the ceiling. Grandpa sat quietly, listening, thinking what he could do. He wanted his seven-year-old grandson happy, not blue. On Christmas day, he gave himself the gift of a golden pup. His delighted grandson came over much more often to sup.
