see what this says:

bob

Look at the words we can
make with the letters we
know:

bob
dod
dog

9
Every day, dod
meets his other end g
at the d o g park.

10
 ?

dod the dog

asks, “What is your b
name?” but his other g
,

end says nothing. g

11
So d o d says “I will
,

call you b o b . Hello

,

b o b – you can call

me d o d .”

12
b o b does not say
,

“Hello d o d .”
,

b o b has no mouth ,

so b o b just wags

his tail. g
13
But d o d does not
care. b o b and d o d

are best friends at g

the d o g park.

14
Their favorite game at g
the d o g park is
c h a s e . Fi r s t d o d
,

chases b o b .

15
And then bob
chases d o d .

b o b and d o d
have lots of fun. g

16
They also play ball at g
the d o g park.
b o b kicks the ball
to d o d and then
,

d o d kicks it back.
17
Because b o b has no
eyes, he misses the ball g
a lot, but dod
never gets mad at g
bob.
18
 g
“ Yo u a r e m y b e s t

friend ” says d o d
,

to b o b . “I know we

only met a few days ago g

at the d o g park...” g
19
 g
“...but I feel like I have

known you all my life.” g

b o b wags his tail –

he feels the same way g

about d o d .
20
d o d looks at b o b
and opens his eyes as wide g
as he can. “ b o b ” says
,

d o d “ are you SURE

,

we have never met before?” g

21
b o b shakes his tail.
b o b knows he has
never seen d o d before.

b o b has no eyes so
,

this is perfectly true. d
