The Adventure of Lucky the Chihuahua by Mona Bellamy (reading books for 5 year olds .txt) 📖

Once upon time there was a kid named Timmy and he was 6 years old. Both of his parents loved him very much. Timmy’s mommy cooked his favorite meal almost everyday, which is spaghetti and meatballs. His daddy played video games, read bedtime stories, and Frisbee with him. One day Timmy parents surprised him with a black and white spotted Chihuahua puppy, in which they named her Lucky. They named her Lucky because she was lucky to have them as a family and they were lucky to have him as a pet. Lucky became Timmy best friend over a short length of time of becoming part of the family. When daddy played video games with Timmy; Lucky was always watching too. When daddy read bedtime stories to Timmy; Lucky was listening too. When daddy played Frisbee with Timmy; Lucky played too. When it is time to sleep daddy reads Timmy a bedtime story most nights, so he is able to sleep through the night.

Tonight daddy is reading Timmy the story of Peter Pan; he is so excited because it is one of his favorites! After daddy reads him the bedtime story both daddy and mommy kiss Timmy goodnight. Lucky normally sleeps by Timmy bed at nighttime. Then Timmy day would begin all over again with daddy, mommy and Lucky. Timmy thinks and feels he is the luckiest and happiest boy in the world!

When Timmy woke up the next day something seemed different, but he just couldn’t figure it out at the moment. Timmy proceeded to walk around the house seeing mommy cooking breakfast and daddy reading a newspaper, but where was Lucky his beloved puppy. He decided to do some searching himself before he asked, his mommy and daddy were Lucky was at. So Timmy began his search back upstairs in his bedroom and first looking under his bed, but there was no Lucky. Second place, He decided to look was in the bathroom because maybe Lucky had been thirsty and decided to drink from the toilet; no Lucky. After leaving out of the bathroom Timmy thought maybe somehow Lucky wandered into his closet, so happily Timmy ran back into his bedroom. Unfortunately, Timmy looked into his bedroom big closet and there was no Lucky. By this time Timmy was getting upset since he looked everywhere he thought Lucky could possibly be. Timmy thought to himself “Where could Lucky be?” As he thought to himself walking downstairs but still hoping for the best and he thought one day see Lucky again.

As Timmy made his way downstairs to the kitchen, he thought maybe Lucky is in the laundry room because for some reason Lucky liked to play in their dirty clothes. Timmy walked into the laundry room smiling calling “Lucky! “Lucky!” where are you at boy? He was expecting to see his pal come running out of the piles of clothes in the laundry room to greet him. Timmy was heartbroken there was no Lucky in the laundry room, but just before tears came sailing down his face daddy and mommy began calling their son for breakfast. Timmy was trying to put on a brave smile when he sat down at the kitchen table with his parents, but instinctively they knew that something was wrong before he could even get the words out.

Timmy’s daddy said, “Timmy we heard you calling for Lucky all throughout the house, but he didn’t come running like he normally did he? Timmy just sat there for a moment and his daddy said,” Timmy did you hear what was I just ask you? Slowly tears began falling down Timmy cheeks as he slowly nodded his head waiting for his daddy to

finish talking about Lucky. Timmy’s daddy began saying that last night there was a terrible thunderstorm last night that involved a couple in a moving car and their Lucky.

The couple survived only a few minor cuts and bruises, but unfortunately Lucky was badly hurt thankfully we had a pet collar on him with our telephone number and address. We received a telephone call this morning that Lucky had been taken to the local veterinarian clinic. Timmy signed with relief because he thought his daddy was going to say Lucky had been killed upon impact. His daddy continued in telling him when the couple hit Lucky, it was discovered that his back left leg was broken. Timmy’s mommy who was standing by his daddy at the time began speaking to Timmy saying, “My darling Timmy your pet Lucky will be ok, but it will be a few months before she will be able to play Frisbee with you.” We all should be thankful that Lucky wasn’t badly hurt and for the couple that took him to the local veterinarian clinic. Timmy slowly stopped crying and sniffling to paused for a moment as he thought about what his mommy had just said to him. Then a small smile begins to form on his face, but tears steady flowed from his eyes.

At that moment both Timmy’s parents had worried looks on their faces, so they both embrace their son for a family hug while saying in unison everything is going to be ok son. After their family hug Timmy then said, “Daddy and Mommy I am so thankful I could have lost my best friend Lucky in a car accident but her life was spared. His daddy said, “Yes son we need to count our blessings.” His mommy said, “Son I need you to know that if Lucky had been killed, she would not have been a loss to this family.” Sensing that Timmy was confused by what was being said his mommy then said, “Lucky

would have continued to live in our hearts through each memory that was created with her. After a few moments passed with the family sitting at the table eating breakfast silently Timmy began to slowly smile again even giggle. His mommy and daddy looked at each other in amazement to see their son being at peace with the situation.

Both parents pleased with what they saw and heard, Timmy’s daddy finally spoke and said, “Timmy why are you smiling and giggling son. Timmy looked up at his parents and said he gets it. His daddy says, “Get what son?” Timmy said, “He could never lose Lucky since he would always be alive in his heart because he would keep alive the memories they’ve shared. Timmy said, “He would remember the times when Lucky played Frisbee with him and curl up beside him during story time.” All the memories that we have shared with Lucky will live on in our hearts.” Overcome, by pure joy that Timmy understood about Lucky’s accident, the family hugged, laughed and cried again while proceeding to the local veterinarian clinic.
