Dog Poker {Short Story}

by: K. Mátyás, 6th grade

Once upon a time a dog had a great idea. His  name was … Apple. His idea was a kind of card game. It was Dog Poker. It’s really cool, I think, so this need to be very cool. But to do this he knew that he needed to get beer, whisky, and alcohol … He went to the DOG Pub for the things he needed. But the boss of the pub was a very evil , big, fat and drunk bulldog. He knew he needed to go to the shop, but there he could find water, coke and the biggest enemy the Non-Alcoholic Cat Beer. He had a plan to get beer, whisky and any kind of alcohol. He needed to get in the pub illegally. He needed some help, because he knew he couldn’t do this alone. He called his friends. He called  Big Tummy and his cousin White Bandit, Brown-White and his brother White-Brown, Brush-Tail and the Wolf-son. And those dogs were the biggest heist crew that you ever seen. The plan had the two bulldog cousins shout at the security guards.  Then Brown-White and White-Brown rushed in to break everything they could, but if they broke the alcohol then they wouldn’t  get the drinks. And then Apple and Wolf-son got into the drink storage. When they finished, Apple and Wolf-son went out the back exit and all the dogs ran away from wherever they could. Near the pub they found a local professional wall-assister. He was drunk, not just little bit, and they knew that there’s something wrong with him, cause his blood-alcohol level was low for him so they helped him out with his problem. They gave him some brandy to survive. After the meeting they became friends and they invited him to play poker. They played the biggest poker game of the world… oh no-no-no! Of the universe! Now that’s better. So they played the game from Monday morning until Sunday night. And then, when they ran out of alcohol, they slept for three weeks, three days and three hours. They needed one more week to feel better and one more week to get another good idea. Do it again!
