“Hey, Jake,” Bobby said. “I was just checking to make sure you didn’t forget to walk my dog like you promised.”
“Oh, no! I forgot this was the night you were spending at your grandma’s house!”
“Well,” Bobby replied, “it’s not too late to walk him. Just go over there now. I told you where the key is hidden.”
“It’s not that,” Jake said sadly. “My parents just left for the movies, and they said I can’t go outside while they’re gone.”
“Can’t you sneak out?” Bobby asked. “They’d never have to know.”
“Hmmmm. I’d get in an awful lot of trouble if anyone found out.”
“But you’ve gotta do it. You promised me!” Bobby pleaded.
