One of my good friends, Bob, has a very large police dog named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, Bob and Jack have a walk in the park. Jack likes these walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, I went to visit my friend. I stayed there for a long time and my friend and I had a long talk with each other. Soon it was time for them to take a walk in the park.

I went on talking with my friend. At last, Jack could not wait any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down in front of me again.
