Do and Don't
Chapter 7
Do Ask for Permission
Mokuba was bored. He had beaten his all videogames. His brother was working as usual and his friends working or away for the summer. He could go for a walk but where would he go? The only interesting event in town was the pet store that was having their grand opening and it wouldn't be fun to go alone. So he was stuck. Alone. In the big manor where you could be on the other side of the house and not notice if a dog was barking.
He sat up on his bed and left his room at a run.
Hours later the door slamming signalled the return of his brother. Since the slam shook the whole house, Mokuba figured Seto had brought work home with him. He peeked into the study and found his brother typing on his computer.
"Seto," Mokuba asked, "can I get a dog?"
Seto didn't look up. "No."
Mokuba frowned. "Why not?"
"Because we don't have time for a dog."
Mokuba nodded as if that made sense and walked out of the room. He closed the door and started to walk back to his room. It was a good thing he had gotten a cat.
