To the 13 little girls at Miss Clavel's school, They all loved their pet dog Genieve Marie. To the little girls though, Genieve was more than just a dog, the little girls knew that their dog was perfect.

Riley and Madeline and the Dog show.

Narrator: In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines,

Lived thirteen little girls in two straight lines.

As both girls slid down a rail each they giggled.

They left the house at half past nine,

In two straight lines in rain or shine.

The older one was Riley, and the smallest one was Madeline.

Whatever the girls want, their dog wanted to do too.

There was nothing Genevieve could not do.

One day the girls went to a carnival where they saw many amazing things. Riley then looked up and gasped.

Genevieve was suddenly on the horse, showing a number of tricks she can do.

Back at the school she puts on a funny puppet show, everybody loved her well.

All the girls and Miss Clavel "Bravo!"

Miss Clavel said "Madeline, I believe that Genevieve is the smartest dog in all Paris!"

Madeline said "Excuse moi Miss Clavel, but that is not correct"

Miss Clavel said "No?"

Madeline said "No, Genevieve is the smartest dog in all the world!"

Miss Clavel said "Oui oui, Madeline that is correct."

Narrator: As Genevieve walked from door to door with the girls, her many friends would say "Bonjour!"

As the lady put water out for her to drink, the butcher gives her sausages, and the florist gives her a flower to wear in her hair.

Narrator: One day, Genevieve began to bark when she saw a poster near the park. A contest would be held to see which dog was the finest in Paris.

The 13 girls crowded around the poster

Riley said "A competition to find the finest dog in all of Paris? Genevieve Marie that is you!"

The rest of the girls agreed.

Nicole said "Without a doubt, why look?"

Chloe said "Her coat is so shiny!"

Danielle said "So is her nose"

Madeline said "Her manners are prefect too"

Miss Clavel said "Me oui it's true, the finest dog in Paris- I mean in all the world is Genevieve Marie!"

Narrator: In the thirteen little girls adoring eyes, their dog had already won first prize.

Madeline said "What other dog can juggle?"

As Genevieve Marie juggles apples.

Riley said "And of course multiplies"

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

"And sing all at once"

All the girls shouted "Bravo Genevieve!"

Narrator: So the girls groomed Genevieve from head to toe, to make sure she would win the best in show.

Madeline said "You are the best smelling dog in Paris n'est-ce pas?"

Genevieve sneezed

Bless you Madeline said as she wiped the droplets of water from her face.

Riley said "And braver too!" As she hugged Madeline.

Narrator: For they recalled Genevieve the brave, who had saved Madeline from a watery grave, but when the time to leave drew near, Miss Clavel cried "Oh dear oh dear, what an awful mess you girls have made here!"

Madeline said "Pardon moi Miss Clavel, I know we have made a mess but it was worth it, look at our Genevieve!"

Riley thouther isn't she not the perfect dog?"

Miss Clavel said "Oui oui Riley and Madeline, Genevieve is the perfect dog! Now let us make this room as clean as this doggy!"

The girls got to work cleaning the room as quickly as they could.

Narrator: In a blink of a eye, the old house was neat, and the girls all headed up the street. Dogs of every shape, and size come to try for the famous prize, but Madeline and Riley did not worry a bit, their dog would win, both sisters was sure of it. While waiting in line to enter, the twins also saw their neighbor (who lived next door to Aunt Kathy) Emily with her mom and a man. Emily was holding a leash that was attached to a white dog.

"Hi Emily the twins called.

Emily turned around and smiled as she saw her neighbors. "Hi Madeline, Riley This is my dad and our dog Snowbell.

The father of Emily, whose name was Mathew, came up to the twins and said, You must be Madeline and Riley.

The twins said oui and then they both curtsied politely.

Mathew said "My wife and Emily have told me many things about the two of you.

The twins smiled again and said. "We love spending time with Emily.

Emily then turned to her father and said, "Dad it's our turn." Mathew chuckled and said alright my dear.

"Good Luck girls. Emily told her friends. "Good luck to you as well Madeline said back with a smile.

A few moments later, Madeline and Riley were at the table to enter their dog in the show.

A Lady said "May I help you little girl?"

Riley said "My sister, friends and I want to enter Genevieve Marie in the competition s'il te plaît."

The lady looked over the table and seeing Genieve Marie she smiled and said

"Very well, here is your entry number."

Man said "No no this will not do!"

The twins gasped as they heard the man yell.

Narrator: Just when Genevieve was about to enter, a man stepped forward front, and center.

Man said "This dog cannot compete!"

A women came forward as well and said "No no no!"

Miss Clavel said "What is the reason for this?"

Woman said "This dog cannot compete because she has no pedigree!"

Man said "A mixed breed of any uncertain hesitation, she is not good enough for this show no no, and again no!" Our friend Kathy told us so.

The twins looked at each other and said, "You know our Aunt?" The lady looked at the twins and narrowed her eyes. With a sniff nodded.

Madeline said "That is true she has no pedigree, but we will go get one, come let us go to the pedigrees shop!"

Miss Clavel said "Impossible Madeline, a pedigree shows that the dogs parents are both the same breed, and Genevieve Marie is a mixture."

Narrator: The dog could not enter with no pedigree, but Madeline and their friends did not agree.

Miss Clavel said "We do not need a pedigree to know that Genevieve is the best dog in the world!"

All the girls said "Yes yes yes, we love you Genevieve Marie!"

Miss Clavel said "Exactments moi."

Riley then said sadly. "Now all of Paris will never know what a wonderful dog you are"

Narrator: The girls were feeling sad, and blue till Madeline said"

Madeline said "This won't do, we know that Genevieve is the best doggie, and now we must show the other, Allonez!"

Riley said "Maddie, wait up! As she ran to catch up with her sister.

Girls wait for us Miss Clavel called as she and the 11 other girls ran to catch up with the twins as well.

Narrator: Because Madeline and Riley showed so much emotion, she ended up causing quite a commotion.

Madeline said angerly "What do you mean Genevieve can't enter? She is magnifique, she is sympatric!"

Woman said "She is pathetic!"

Riley said "No no madame, you are wrong! My Genevieve is a wonderful friend, she is faithful and truthful. Another thing Mrs. Hair Woman, she has even saved my twin sister's life, and she deserves the chance to prove to the world that she is the perfect dog!"

Hmph and what makes you say that you little brat?" The man asked harshly.

I'm glad you asked Riley said.

Riley

Some dogs bark, some dogs bite.

But our dog tucks us in at night.

Some dogs howl, some dogs yelp.

But you can call our dog for help.

All the girls

She's perfect, perfect, perfect!

She's the perfect dog!

Give her a test. You'll see that she is the best.

Madeline

Some dogs growl, some dogs whine.

But ours can whistle "Madeline."

Some dogs chase, some dogs flee.

Ours can swim across the sea.

All the girls

She's perfect, perfect, perfect.

She's the perfect dog.

Give her a test. You'll see that she is the best.

Riley

Some dogs scratch, some dogs lick.

But our dog does arithmetic.

Madeline

Some dogs fight, some defend.

But our dog is a girl's best friend.

All the girls

She's perfect, perfect, perfect.

She's the perfect dog.

Give her a test. You'll see that she is the best.

Madeline

She needs no test. We all know that she is the best.

Woman said "I do not care what you said, she is still a mutt, and she doesn't belong in this show!"

Lady said "There's only one person who can decide, we will ask the judge for his opinion."

The judge then came over.

Narrator: The Judge then held a consultation, checking every regulation.

Judge said "No cats, no bunnies, no gray squirrels, no grown ups, no boys and ah oui- no girls!" and no Cow's

Riley said "No girls? Hey it didn't say no girls allowed? We are twin sisters, we are not leaving our dog with you sir!"

Judge whispered to the other judge "This girl sure gets a mouth filled with words!"

The second judge said "Yes, but they are little girls, not teenage girls."

Narrator: After a lengthy discussion, the judges concluded that mixed breeds like Genevieve could be included.

The girls, Miss Clavel and even a few bystanders cheered at the news.

So Genevieve took her rightful position, in the all of Paris' dog show competition.

At the second judge blew his whistle.

As hunters, the dogs looked most attractive.

The first judge said "Perfect hunting frames, bon a born hunter!"

Narrator: But Genevieve was much less active.

The first judger said "Aren't you going to point?"

"She doesn't even know what to do. The women muttered. However she was most shocked

As Genevieve was back with a picnic lunch.

The first judge said "Fantastique! A prefect reverent!"

All the girls said "Bravo Genevieve!"

Madeline said "Riley, did you bring a picnic?"

Riley said "No, why do you ask Maddie?"

Madeline said "Just wondering"

Riley said "Congratulations mon amie!"

The other competitors (all except Emily and her parents who smiled at the twins) Huffed and the dogs growled.

Madeline said "Riley it just me or are the dogs, and their owners are growling at us!"

Judge number one said "Heal!"

Narrator: In obedience all the dogs did well.

Genevieve pointed down.

The first judge said "Sit!"

Narrator: But only Genevieve did excel.

Judge one said "Magnifique! One hundred percent!"

Judge one said "Poodle bon, Afghan hound bon, très bien bull dog très bien!"

After that it was time for a break.

Miss Clavel said "Goodness, those other dogs are doing very well."Madeline said "Oui Miss Clavel, but don't worry they cannot hold a canine to our Genevieve!" After the break, the show continued

Narrator: In appearance no one could quite compare with Genevieve, and her amazing hair.

Judge one said "And what breed shall I put down?"

Narrator: She had a talent very rare.

Judge one said "Ah a Poodle! Oh an Afghan hound? No, a bull dog?"

Madeline said "It pays to be a mixed breed, doesn't it me petite chien?"

Judge one said "One hundred and ten percent!"

Narrator: And when the time came to retrieve, no one did better then Genevieve.

Judge one said "Extraordinaire! One hundred twenty pecent!"

Narrator: Even in the hardest test, Genevieve was declared the best.

Judge one said "One hundred and fifty percent!"

Narrator: Her competitors were not impressed, but no one was surprised to know that Genevieve won best of show.

All the girls said "Bravo Genevieve, très bien!"

Emily and her parents rushed over. "Congratulations twins." Emily said as she gave her two friends who were like sisters to her a big hug. "Thanks Emily and congrats to Snowbell for winning second place. Madeline told her friend.

Narrator: And then the shout came from below.

Man said "No no no, it cannot be so!"

Narrator: Saying Genevieve had not won best of show.

All the girls said "No?"

Miss Clavel said "No?"

Judger one said "No?"

Man said "No!"

Riley said angerly "And why is this so? Mister sore loser?"

Man said "Because Madames and Monsieur's, this so call champion, this mutt, this Genevieve has got a flea!"

Madeline said "A Flea?"

The 13 girls and her teacher looked at their prize winning dog and gasped seeing Genieve Marie scratching.

Narrator: the presence of a tiny flea made everyone act crazy.

Riley said "Genevieve I know you do not have a flea."

Narrator: Though Genevieve was calm and quiet. She started scratching again.

As the girls gasped.

Miss Clavel said "Perhaps she got it from one of them!"

Narrator: The rest of the show was thrown into a riot.

Woman said "These fleas are everywhere!"

Narrator: The crowd want wild with yells, and screams worse than Miss Clavel's most awful dreams, it was hard to believe that a tiny flea could cause so much anxiety. The dogs ran off to the park's nearby fountain and they all jumped in.

Miss Clavel said "Oh my!"

All the eleven girls said "Oh dear!"

Riley said "Oh no!"

Madeline said "But how I mean we washed Genevieve before we came."

Narrator: Those well bread doggies could not swim, and that is when Genevieve dived right in.

Madeline said "Genevieve!" and dived in after Genevieve

Riley said Madeline and dove in behind her sister.

Miss Clavel said "Be careful Genevieve, be careful girls!"

Narrator: There was large dogs, small dogs, bull dogs, she saved them all.

All the girls said "That's our dog!"

Madeline and Riley said "Our Genevieve!"

Judge said "Genevieve with score of three hundred points, I pronounce you best of show!"

Narrator: As Genevieve received the prize, the audience all had teary eyes.

Man said "Vit Genevieve!"

Woman said "Hooray Genevieve!"

Narrator: And then the mayor did arrive, although she had no pedigree, Genevieve won the key to Paris, she had saved the Mayor's dog you see; the applause continued stronger and loud, Genevieve was very proud.

Riley said "We always knew you were the perfect dog Genevieve!"

Narrator: The whole city seemed to celebrate the victory of a dog so great, the girls could not wait to spread the good news.

The 13 girls then walked back to the house with their prize winning pet. Only to be stopped by Mrs Murphy.

Ms. Murphy said "Girls, I just cleaned the house!"

Narrator: But first, they had to clean their shoes.

After cleaning their shoes, Miss Clavel took the 13 girls upstairs to get cleaned up. Madeline however was the most dirty so Miss Clavel gave her a quick bath.

Madeline said "Save me Genevieve, save me!"

As Genevieve splashed Madeline

Chloe said "I crown you queen of the royal bath!" As she put a plastic toy crown on Genieve's head.

Narrator: The rest of the evening was strictly fun.

That night at dinner, All the girls said "We love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other."

Narrator: With special treats for everyone.

Riley said "And we also love le gateau au chocolat!"

So true sis Madeline told her sister as she licked her lips seeing the big chocolate cake.

Narrator: At bedtime teeth was brushed just right, then everybody said goodnight.

Miss Clavel said "Good night little girls I hope you sleep well!"

All the girls said "Good night, good night dear Miss Clavel!"

Narrator: And Miss Clavel turned off the light.

All the girls said "Good night Genevieve!"

Madeline said "Come on Genevieve, a heroine like you deserves a soft bed."

Narrator: Madeline felt it was only right to switch with Genevieve just for one night.

Madeline said "After all, she is the perfect dog!"

Narrator: So Madeline slept soundly on the floor, and that's all there is there isn't anymore.
