"
Oh
,
please
forgive
us
--
it
was
only
a
joke
.
"
972
Eric
broke
away
sharply
.
Tears
were
streaming
down
his
cheeks
.
973
"
But
you
knew
,
"
he
sobbed
,
"
but
you
knew
I
wanted
a
real
dog
.
It
was
n't
a
bit
funny
.

He
rushed
away
from
them
to
his
own
room
and
threw
himself
on
the
bed
.
Bobby
and
Betty
followed
him
and
Mommy
came
running
.
975
But
Eric
took
no
notice
of
them
.
He
wept
so
that
his
whole
body
shook
.
His
birthday
was
entirely
spoiled
.
He
was
determined
to
be
happy
,
although
he
was
not
going
to
have
a
dog
;
but
when
they
came
and
gave
him
a
velvet
dog
...
His
weeping
rose
to
pitiful
sobs
when
he
thought
of
it
,
and
he
burrowed
his
face
as
far
into
the
pillow
as
he
could
.
Mommy
,
Bobby
,
and
Betty
stood
by
the
bed
,
and
they
too
were
unhappy
.
976
"
I
must
call
up
Daddy
and
ask
him
to
come
home
from
the
office
a
little
earlier
,
"
said
Mommy
.
977
Eric
was
crying
...
what
good
would
it
do
if
Daddy
came
home
?
Everything
was
sad
now
,
and
the
birthday
was
spoiled
.
Nothing
would
make
any
difference
.

A
little
later
he
heard
Daddy
come
home
...
but
he
cried
.
He
would
never
be
happy
again
.
It
would
be
better
to
die
,
and
then
Bobby
and
Betty
could
keep
their
velvet
dog
and
never
,
never
forget
how
horrid
they
had
been
to
their
little
brother
when
he
was
alive
and
had
his
birthday
.
979
Suddenly
they
were
all
standing
by
his
bed
,
Daddy
and
Mommy
and
Bobby
and
Betty
.
He
buried
his
face
even
deeper
in
the
pillow
.

"
Eric
!
There
's
someone
waiting
for
you
out
in
the
hall
,
"
said
Daddy
.
