СКАЧАТЬ will you get? The golden bone?” Betsy was frightened.

      “Who cares about this ugly peace of gold, silly puppy. No I will get Streltsov’s bracelet one day. Mark my words. ” Clara said.

      “I am not a silly puppy,” Betsy got offended.

      “Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you. Tell me about yourself now.”

      Betsy smiled. She thought if this girl is able to apologize, she must not be as bad of a person as it seemed. “My name is Betsy and I am from Moscow and my biggest dream is to become a figure skater.”

      “That’s all?” Clara asked.

      “Yes!”

      “Well good luck puppy girl.”

      A beautiful lady with blond hair, who talked to Michael threw a ball to Mary.

      “My name is Roberta Woods,” she said. “And what is your name?”

      “My name is Mary.”

      “Nice to meet you, Mary.”

      “Nice to meet you too!”

      “I am from Vladivostok,” Roberta said, “I know this island very well. I used to go here every summer, when I was a child. My biggest dream is to go to the Juilliard School in New York and to become a famous singer.”

      “Wow this is an incredible dream,” Mary said. “I have a classmate and his name is Rex. He is here,” Mary pointed her to my side, “His mother is a famous singer.”

      “Oh really? This is great. I need to talk to your friend later.”

      “Yes, Rex is a very good puppy, he can tell you more about his talented mother. Did you study singing before, Roberta?”

      “No, unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to study singing yet. But I went to the University of Arts. I learned how to draw and make sculptures there.”

      “Oh, this is so interesting. I want to become an artist too. I can draw well, but I have never tried to make sculptures! What do you make it out of?” asked Mary.

      “I can make sculptures out of different materials, but my favorites are clay and paper with glue. I like papier-mache the most.” Roberta replied.

      “Oh I am so impressed!”

      “Please come to my office one day and I will show you my works.”

      “Oh, thank you! This is so nice. I will come. Where do you work?”

      “I am Mr. Rish’s secretary. I work in his cottage on the first floor.”

      When we finished playing, we were a little bit tired but very happy. We had just got acquainted with so many interesting puppies and big dogs. We went to the camp cafeteria to have supper.

      We sat at the table and started to share our impressions of the day.

      “I got acquainted with many interesting dogs, but I like Roberta Woods the most. She is so beautiful and talented!” said Mary.

      “She is.” Betsy agreed.

      “And I liked our camp’s chef, Garikos.” said Bob.

      “Fox terrier?” Timmy asked.

      “Yes. His dream is to go to Paris and to learn cooking secrets from the best French chefs.”

      “It’s a pity that our friend Mikky did not come to the camp. He would love to meet Garikos. Mikky’s dream is to become a chef one day.” I said.

      “And I liked our leader, Michael’s story,” said Bill, “He said that he wants to open an ice-cream store.”

      “I love ice-cream!” Timmy said. “But I am so tired. Please let’s go home and sleep.”

      “Good idea, Timmy.” I said.

      We finished supper and went to our nice cottage to sleep.

      Before I went to bed I glanced at the window. I looked toward the forest. It was already dark, but the moon came out from behind the clouds and I saw a dog that was walking toward the forest. Who would go to the forest at such a late time? Unfortunately I did not see who it was, but it seemed to me that it was a man dog.
