The man walks the dog.

The dog sees the bird.

The bird says: cheep-cheep.

The girl sits under the tree.

The girl reads the book.

Her fin-ger slides from word to word.

The sun is hot-hot-hot.

The dog pulls the leash.

The bird goes: flap-flap.

The moth — the moth — er — the mother is in the garden.

The man says: hello!

The mother says: hello!

The girl does not say any — thing.

The dog goes sniff-sniff-sniff.

The grown-ups go: chat-chat-chat.

The girl wat-ch-es the man.

The man has a brown hat.

The mother goes: ha-ha-ha.

The man licks his lips.

The girl reads the book.

The let-ters go: zig-zag.

Her head goes: fizz-fizz.

The girl wants a soda.

The mother says: not now.

Some-times the brown hat hangs on the peg in the hall.

The bird pecks at the tree.

The dog barks at the bird.

The man jerks the leash.

When the hat is on the peg the mother says: go read your book.

The girl looks at the man.

The man shows his teeth like a dog.

The girl wants to go in-side.

The mother says: not now.

The bird goes: scree-scree.

The dog goes: gurr-gurr.

The man says: damn dog.

The bird shits on the book.

The words go splat-splat.

The dog goes: gruff-gruff.

The grown-ups go chat-chat-chat-chat-chat and the sun is hot-hot-hot-hot-hot.

The words in the air go buzz-buzz.

The girl’s head goes pop-pop.

The girl sees a rock.

The rock hits the bird.

The bird falls down.

The dog goes BARK — the dog pulls the leash — the man’s fin-gers go CRACK — the dog jumps over the gate — the mother says CHRIST — the bird goes flip-flop — the dog’s teeth SNAP — the blood the blood the blood is hot-ter than the sun.

The girl sits under the tree.

The mother reads the book.

The grass is green and red.

The soda is co-co-cold.

And all-all-all is qui-et.
