Sam shook his head slowly. What happened? A minute ago he had been about to kiss the very
pretty girl who had just agreed to marry him, and now he was on his hands and knees in some
alley, looking down at a bunch of garbage. He must have leaped again.
Why was he on his hands and knees, though? Had some*thing* or some*one* just knocked him
down? He looked around cautiously, but there was no one else in the alley with him. Might
as well stand up, then.
But when he tried to stand, his legs wouldn't work right and he somehow couldn't get his
balance. He felt a moment of panic. Had his legs been injured? He wasn't the man with
no legs again, was he? He turned to look behind him at his legs and was startled to see
a big hairy tail waving at him. He jumped and the tail disappeared, tucking itself
between his legs. *His* legs . . . *Sam's* legs. *He had a tail!* What was going on
here??!?
He began to run on all fours - all four *legs*! he had four legs! - through the alley.
Spotting part of a broken mirror that someone had propped against a garbage can, he paused
to look into it. The reflection staring back at him was that of a little black dog with
perky ears and a long nose. Sam's mouth dropped open and the dog began to pant.
He was a dog! He had leaped into a dog!
"Ro, roy," barked Sam.
