There are store rooms under the classrooms. Penny puts Socks on the ground and he runs along the corridor(走道). Penny runs after him. “Come here, the naughty dog!” she says. Socks is not listening. He runs into a small room. It is the girls' changing room.
In the room, he runs around Penny and he barks(吠叫). Penny takes a towel and puts it on the floor. Socks lies on the towel. He is tired now and he falls asleep. “OK,” says Penny. “You can stay here in the changing room.” She shuts the door quietly and she goes back out of the window. She takes the bus home.
Penny goes home and waits for her parents. When they come home, Penny's father is happy. “I find a new job,” he tells Penny's mother. “That's great,” says Mrs Cooper. They are happy. Penny is happy because her parents are happy. She thinks this is not a good time to talk about Socks. She says nothing about the puppy.
In the morning she gets up early and she goes to the changing room. Socks is sitting on the floor. He is chewing(啃,咬) a trainer. The floor is covered with chewed trainers. The towel is in small pieces. And there are puddles on the floor. There is a very bad smell.
“Oh Socks!” cries Penny. “This is really bad. You are a bad dog.” Socks wags his tail and licks her hand. Penny looks round the changing room. She doesn't know what to do. It is terrible.
“We are in big trouble,” she tells Socks. “We can't stay here.” “I need a friend,” she thinks. She thinks of her friends in the village. She makes a decision(决定).
