Meindert !Dc Jong has written
another fine txxvk for fiflh and
sixth graders. Hurry- Home. Can-
dy. a story of a dog.
The dog had no name. For a
dog to have a name, someone
must have him amt someone must
love him, arid a dog must have
someone. This dog had no one,
only the silent empty countryside
of the few houses. Tire dog had
only the crumbs and bare bones
he eottld pick up at the few hous-
es. The dog had only himself,
and he vv as afraid
Once the dog had someone, a
little twiy and a little girl who
loved him and gave him a name
The name they chose was Candy,
and the dog was very happy with
them until one day he lost them
completely.
This story is about Candy and
his lonely friendless life until he
found security again, and a warm
companionship and mutual trust
Boys and girls who love dogs j
will love this story of Candy.
