What confused Oliver sometimes?
Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.
When Oliver was born, he was such a little thing. He grew into a 45 kg dog, and despite his size, didn’t have a mean bone in his body. He looked strong and fierce to outsiders, but was gentle, clumsy and lovable with us.
When Oliver’s partner - in - crime, Tessa, passed away, he was downcast for a long time. So we decided to buy another dog and got Albert, a little Maltese - cross - Bichon Frise. I was very protective of Albert. As Oliver was so big, I worried he might sit on Albert and squash him.
Eventually we moved to the country, where Oliver and Albert had more freedom. They became the best of friends; I no longer worried about Oliver hurting Albert because he was so gentle and understanding. When we went out, Albert was allowed to come along. This confused Oliver, who couldn’t understand why he wasn’t allowed to sit in the car, too. Albert was allowed in the house, but because of his size, Oliver was not. He sat on the doorstep and watched from there.
One day we arrived home with Albert sitting in the front seat of the car. I opened the door and in jumped Oliver, who squashed on top of us. We all had a great laugh, and I’m sure Oliver was embarrassed.
