My Dog Skip Page #3

did household chores.

That's my boy.

Even my father had to admit...

...Skip was an exceptional dog.

What?

- Look at that, Margaret!

- Take a look at that!

Honk the horn, Skip!

Yes, sir.

Or should I say, "yes, sirs"?

Pound of sausage, please.

I have our coupons.

Think your friend there

might like a piece of bologna?

I never met a dog that didn't

appreciate a good piece of bologna.

Nobody has to know about that but us.

- Did you have those chops?

- Yes, ma'am. Coming right up.

Is this your dog?

Skipper.

Skip, for short.

He's sweet.

Rivers, let's go.

Yes, ma'am.

See you at school.

Yeah. See you.

Looks like he done did you a favor.

Skip, I can't see a thing.

I'm sorry.

- Skip, where are you, boy?

- Find a seat!

Hey, cutie!

- Come on down, boy.

- Sit down!

- Down!

- Will you sit down, please?

Why don't you sit down?

Your dog's sitting.

I'm real sorry.

I usually just let him

choose the seats.

I seen.

He's sitting by Rivers Applewhite.

I can't believe it!

The world ain't fair, I'm telling you.

I guess girls must really go for dogs.

Freedom...

...means the supremacy

of human rights everywhere.

How long does it take mail

to get to Europe?

Where in Europe?

Where Dink is.

Foxhole in the south of France.

Are you for Roosevelt, boy?

What do you think about Hitler?

Mrs. Jenkins, it's us.

Come on in, fellas.

Be right with you.

Another letter already?

You know how to throw a curve?

Dink's gonna show me

when he gets home.

Who's Dink?

Where are you from? Mars?

Nope. Right across town over there.

And you haven't heard of Dink Jenkins?

He's only the best ballplayer

anywhere around here. Ever.

Well, you haven't seen Waldo Grace.

He a colored boy?

Yep, and the best in the whole world.

Besides Dink.

He likes you.

You got mail!

From overseas.

Look at this.

Oh, boy!

"And he said to his sons,

'Saddle the ass for me.'

So they saddled the ass for him

and mounted it. "

This right here is a musket

used in the Civil War.

Now, then...

...we have time for just one more.

- Who would like to be next?

- I have a show-and-tell.

This right here is

a German army helmet.

Inside it says, "Hans".

It's a dead Kraut's helmet.

That ain't no real Kraut helmet.

This is an ammo belt

with some writing. It says:

"Gott mit uns, " which means,

"God with us" in German.

They think God's on their side?

That right there proves

the stuff's not real.

And this is a letter...

...from a real GI fighting overseas.

"Dear Willie:

Boy, was I ever happy to get

your letter and news of home.

I can't wait to meet Skip.

He sounds like a world-class dog.

I can't tell you exactly where I am...

...but I can tell you they don't serve
