Щенок Рекс и Тайна золотой кости. The puppy Rex and a Mystery of the Golden Bone

“The first test will be the exercise of holding the plank position.” Michael continued. “Puppy girls will compete only with girls and puppy boys only with boys, so the test will be fair. Those of you who can hold the plank position for the longest time will win.”

We divided into two teams: girls and boys. Michael blew the whistle and all of us got in the plank position. This exercise position is not easy; you put your front paws on the ground and your hind paws on the ground too, and your body should be stretched out long straight as a stick.

This exercise was hard for many puppies, but not for me and my sister Betsy, because we do sports at least three times per week.

“30 seconds! Good job, puppies!” Michael tried to cheer us up. About 10 puppies fell on the ground.

“Oh, plank is too hard for us,” they said.

“60 seconds! Way to go!” Michael said again. A few more puppies fell down. I continued to hold the position and so did Bob Bill and Betsy. Mary, Clara and Timmy fell down too

“Silly exercise! I will tell everything to my dad. They will regret that they made me participate in such a stupid contest.” Clara complained.

“Three minutes and 30 seconds! Wow! You guys are very strong! I am proud of you!” Only seven puppies continued to stand. It was Betsy and me and five other puppies: one puppy girl and four puppy boys.

“Four minutes! All of you are Iron men! I am impressed!” Michael was every excited.

A puppy girl fell on the ground.

“And we have the first girl winner! Congratulations! Let’s see who it is?” Betsy stood up. “And our first winner is Betsy from Moscow! Put your paws together for this amazing, sportive puppy.”

Loud applause was heard from all sides. Only Clara did not applaud. She was standing with her paws crossed and with an offended expression on her face.

“And very soon we will find out who is the strongest among the puppy boys.” Michael continued.

Only three puppies were still in plank and I was one of them.

“Almost six minutes! Guys you are incredible!” said Michael.

Another puppy fell down. Now it was only me and a boy whose breed was Russian Greyhound.

“Seven minutes! Wow, wow, wow!” our leader yelled.

I really wanted to win and I honestly tried my best, but unfortunately my paws stopped listening to me and I fell on the ground. In two seconds the last puppy fell on the ground too.

“And we have a boy winner! It was a really hard competition! Seven minutes is a record for sure. Both of you puppies are very strong. And now let’s welcome our winner. Please stand up and tell us your name.”

Russian Greyhound slowly stood up.

“My name is Ivan Kropotkin.” he said.

“My congratulations, Ivan! Where are you from?” Michel asked.

“I am from Novosibirsk.”

“A very strong puppy from Siberia! Your applause!”

Everyone even Clara put their paws together.

“Please tell us how come you are so strong? How often do you exercise?” asked camp leader.
