Sam's Fourth of July
Sam is a dog who loves the
Fourth of July.
This year, the town put him at the
front of the big parade.
They dressed him up in a suit
and hat with stars and stripes.
He was so happy!
Everyone came out to see Sam.
The town was filled with
decorations.
Sam led the big parade.
He barked along when the
band played.
He danced on his back legs.
Everyone watched and clapped.
Sam ate some yummy hot dogs.
He liked them so much that he
begged for more.
He waved his paw to thank the
soldiers in the army.
The mayor even came out and
shook Sam's paw.
“ What day in July is the birthday
of the United States?” the
mayor asked.
Sam barked four times for
the Fourth of July!
The parade followed Sam through
the town.
They were almost at the park
where the parade was to end.
Suddenly, some fireworks went off.
Sam didn’t like the fireworks.
He ran home to get away from them.
The parade followed Sam
all the way to his backyard.
The fireworks filled the night sky.
Sam stayed in his doghouse until
the fireworks were over.
Then he came out to eat some
apple pie and ice cream.
