Max's Runaway.

Max's Runaway

Once upon a time, there lived a 12-year-old boy called Mathew. He lived with his parents and his dog, Max, in New York. One day, Mathew went out to play with Max, but he was nowhere to be found. "He's probably playing a trick on me," thought Mathew, so he started looking for him. For more than two hours, Mathew turned the house and backyard upside-down but he still could not find Max. Mathew told his parents about this. They told him that he might have run away. Mathew was extremely upset about what had happened. When he went to bed, he could not sleep a wink. Just after midnight, he decided to leave home and look for Max.
