アンの息子ジェムは素敵なブルーノという犬をもらって興奮しています。
Jem was too excited to sleep for ever so long that night. He had never seen a dog he liked so much as Bruno. No wonder Roddy hated parting with him. But Bruno would soon forget Roddy and love him. They would be pals. He must remember to ask Mother to make sure the butcher sent up the bones.
"I love everybody and everything in the world," said Jem. "Dear God, bless every cat and dog in the world but specially Bruno."
Jem fell asleep at last. Perhaps a little dog lying at the foot of the bed with his chin upon his outstretched paws slept, too: and perhaps he did not.
