First of all, dogs are affectionate and fun companions. They will cuddle up to their owners to be petted. These loving animals are always ready for a hug or pat on the head. If they get the chance, some will even give their human friends a sloppy, wet kiss! Most dogs are playful, too. They love to chase sticks and fetch balls. According to the Humane Society, thirty nine percent of U.S. households own at least one dog. So it is no secret that dogs provide hours of enthusiastic entertainment and companionship.
Secondly, many dogs are protective of their owners. In addition to cuddling and fetching, dog lovers appreciate the protective nature of many canines. Many dogs bark to alert owners when someone comes to their home. A dog owner often feels safer just knowing he has a loyal dog willing to protect its family or alert them of danger. If barking becomes a problem, most dogs can be trained to limit annoying yapping.
Lastly, one of the best features of dogs is that they are great exercise partners. Dogs love to go on walks. Responsible pet owners understand that dogs need plenty of exercise. Daily walks can keep dogs happy and healthy. Of course, dog lovers benefit from this fitness plan, too. Having an energetic partner is great motivation to get off the couch and get moving.

Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change.

Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.

When Stacey and Carlos returned to the office, Carlos eyed his notepad thoughtfully. Perhaps it was time to add variety into his predictable routine. He opened the notepad to a fresh page and began to draw an office building that reached beyond the clouds.

Read the excerpt from the story Hide and Seek.

Raj immediately shook his head side to side, and his smile was replaced with a frown. The hills on Governors Island boasted four slides, one of which was 57 feet long, New York City's longest slide. The length didn't disturb Raj, but the slide was three stories tall, and he was petrified of heights, even if the slide did have the best views of the New York skyline. Maria was fearless and wanted to go on the slide more than anything in the world, mostly because she loved experiencing new adventures. Besides, she had played at least twenty rounds of hide and seek with him. Maybe it was time to try a new adventure.

Raj reluctantly nodded his head, and Maria squealed with delight. Grabbing Raj's hand, Maria headed toward the hills, which they climbed with care until they reached the summit. Raj looked down from the top of the slide, feeling absolutely terrified. Maria didn't hesitate for even a second. She slid down as soon as she reached the top, cheering with abandon, until she reached the bottom of the slide. He took a deep breath, slid down the slide, and began to scream gleefully, amazed at how much fun he was having. For the rest of the day, Raj climbed the hill and slid down each marvelous slide four times, enjoying the rush of excitement and unparalleled views of the New York skyline.

Read the excerpt from "How I Learned English.”

So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.

Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes.
