Today I caught Eddie playing with our dog, Dunia, outside the compound. They were running around in circles chasing their tails. Eddie’s punishment for letting the dog out of the compound was to write an essay on reasons why the dog should not go outside the compound. He wrote and revised three drafts on his own and then I gave him some of the chocolate Dave brought over on his recent visit. Dunia didn’t get any chocolate.

Reasons why the dog should not go outside.
Edward Chao
3rd Draft
Naturally all living things need to move about freely with life, but a dog like Dunia as a pet is supposed to monitored and loved. And also, we should keep him from eating contaminated food from outside, which may bring sickness to the dog. Another factor is that drivers are careless of driving because they are drunk whilst driving. In this case, an animal, which is not sensitive like a human being, will be more likely to be knocked down by cars on the road. Another reason is that the dog has been castrated and there is a big wound at the scrotum. Therefore, Dunia needs to be in the compound all day in order not to be disturbed by other rough dogs.
