One summer day the lady took Cedric to play near the pool. He saw a very large round thing that he had never seen before. It was incredible! It was huge! It floated dreamily around on the water and, oh, how Cedric wanted that thing! He trembled with excitement whenever he saw it. The lady held him up to it and told him that it was called a 'red ball'. Cedric was very happy that he got so close to it, but it was in the pool and he was very afraid of the water, so he didn't want to get in the pool and chase the red ball. He decided to stay on the ground and bark at it instead.
