A man, nick. He was really brave. He could do a 360°flip on his skateboard. But nick had one thing he wasn’t brave about. He was scared of one dog. The dog called Scar. Scar lived on Nick’s street behind a high fence. On the fence it was written big words “Beware of dog”. Since he saw it, He was scared the dog.

Sometimes he walked past the fence, and he saw that a black nose pushed under the fence.

One day, he gulped. Part of the fence had broken away. It was monster-sized hole. Scar was out. As soon as he saw the hole, ran away to the park. He scanned around in a circle. He could see bushes, trees, and the playground, but no people. Then, that bush moved. Nick looked around quickly. He saw a man on the far side of the park. Then the man turned and shouted “Scar!”

The bushed shook again. Nick started to run, but the dog jumped out was a little white dog. The man grabbed the little dog. He had never told anyone the dog he was scared, because he couldn’t believe that little dog was Scar. This story became his secret.



When I was elementary school student, I was scared dog too. But actually I closed in dog, dog licked my hand. Since then, I became to love dog.
