But one Monday morning, I was surprised that Rex was not there to say hello to us. “Rex is in the hospital. He was hit by a car last night,” my classmate told me. We went to see Rex in the hospital that day after school. Two weeks later, Rex was much better, and we decided to take him for a walk every evening.
