George's good turn

George  was a Boy Scout.

Once his mother made him promise to do one good turn to any body  each day  like help an old woman across the street,stop a runaway horse,help a man with a heavy thing etc.

So George kept his promise to his mother and  did one good turn to a person each day. And for that  he got his favourite box of  chocolates a week. He enjoyed them very much.

But one day he couldn't  get any good turns to do. Nobody seemed to be needing any help at all.George looked for a runaway horse he could stop. But all the horses walked straight and not one ran away.

He was upset. Would he have to break his promise to mother? He had never,ever,ever broken a promise before in his entire life.He felt very sad and sat on a nearby bench, very sad .

He went home and told his mother he could not find any good turns to do.His mother was cross with him.She told h him she would not give him his favourite box of chocolates.George felt sad.

That evening he went out for he was really very upset.He walked thinking of miserable things when he at last reached the woods.He went to his favourite spot from where he could see the sunset very clearly.He was watching it whae he heard a loud whine.He ran to see what it was.

Why,Pat the dog that belonged to the local landlord had caught it's leg in a trap!George ran to it and tried his hardest to remove the trap when at last the steel teeth parted!Pat wuffed three times as if to say''thank you!'

One day when Pat was going along the road He saw George going in the very middle of it with a car rushing behind him!But George wasn't noticing.The car came nearer.Pat rushed and pushed George out of the road.

George said "Thank you,Pat. One day i saved you from a trap and today you saved me from a car! I will make you a scout dog!
