Lily

It was cold in the Saberton's barn. Tessie, a collie, was giving birth to puppies. That night was the coldest that winter in Bennettsville. Tessie's puppies, two males and one female, were named Flash, Spike and Lily.

The Saberton's had decided to sell the puppies for money, because they were very poor.

A month later, the day before the puppies were to be sold, a big fire burned down the Saberton's house. Everyone died except for Lily and her mother.

Tessie brought Lily into the dark, cold forest surrounding the Saberton's house on three sides. she told lassie to stay, and then hurried off. She never returned. Lily stayed till she nearly froze, then she left. she hadn't eaten for two days and was starving. WOULD SHE MAKE IT?
