- 0The Missing Boot
One snowy morning, Jin could not find his left boot. He looked under the bed, behind the door and inside the cupboard.
His little sister Lan giggled. She pointed to the dog, who was fast asleep in the hallway — curled around the boot like a pillow.
Jin gently slid the boot out, and the dog just rolled over. Jin and Lan walked to school through the snow, laughing.
