Minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Stacy didn’t really hear the bell. But she knew someone was there just the same.

Sunday Funnies had run to the door. He was howling now.

Quickly, she switched off the sweeper. “I’m coming,” she called. And she dashed to the door.

There stood Jason Birchall, carrying a cardboard box. “Hi, Stacy,” he said.

“Hi.” She was very surprised to see him.

“I’ve got something to show you,” he said. He looked down at whatever was in his box.

She stepped back, away from the door. Jason was known to collect strange pets. Things like tarantulas and croaking bullfrogs.

“Uh . . . I don’t know,” she said. “Maybe not.”

“Come on. Just take a look,” he said. “This box won’t bite.”

“But what’s inside might, right?” She didn’t trust Jason. Not one bit!

He shoved the cardboard box at her. “Surprise!”

“Yikes!” she gasped.

But it wasn’t really so bad when she looked inside.

There was no scary, furry spider. Not even a green frog with blinking eyes!

Instead, a shabby little puppy looked up at her from the box.

“Pee-uu-wee,” she said, backing away. “Whose dog?”

“That’s what I’d like to know,” he said. “This pooch needs a little kindness. Wanna help me hunt for its owner?”

Stacy was shocked. “What did you just say?”

It sounded like Jason had picked a fruit, after all.

“I asked if you wanted to help me find the dog’s owner?” he repeated.

“That’s very kind of you,” she replied.

He smiled and set the box down. “I knew you’d think so. But don’t get any fruity ideas about . . . well, you know.”

She knew, all right.

Still, she hoped Jason would change his mind.

Before New Year’s Eve!
