Nina and Doggy  (Version corrected by chat GTP)

 

Little Nina carefully prepared a beautiful and generous dish of Strowberries with sugar and asked her mom:

“Mom, may I have a snack in the garden?”

“Yes, Nina, but be careful with Doggy. Remember, I don’t want you to feed him! He’s a little sneaky pilferer!”

“Doggy” was a Stray dog, a somewhat Weirdo from the neighborhood who used to wander around.

Nina went out and left her strawberries on the garden table.

Doggy waited until Nina went back inside and quickly devoured the delicious red dessert.

As Doggy ate the strawberries, Nina watched him through the window. She smiled and thought, “Hi, Doggy!” — and, with a mischievous twinkle, she winked to herself.
