Vicky liked dog biscuits . She thought of a way to get the biscuits for herself.
As a little dog, Vicky had learned to watch for the postman. Every day she went to meet him. He gave her all the letters. She brought these to Mrs. Smith—sometimes as many as six at a time.
One day Vicky brought only one letter to Mrs. Smith. But the little dog looked excited about something. How happily her feet danced as she followed Mrs. Smith to the cupboard! She ran into the next room with the biscuit. "How strange!" thought Mrs. Smith, "Why did the postman come back so soon?" But she went to the cupboard and got another biscuit for Vicky. There she saw Vicky eating the biscuit. And under the dog's front paws (爪) was another letter!
Vicky had thought of a way to get more of the biscuits she liked. She was not going to bring all the letters at once.
