Grammie smiles and begins to tell her tale, "Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Patrice. She lived on a farm in the 1800's. Her papa was a strong man, and her mother sweeter then honey. One warm summer day, the girl decided to go down to the creek. Her puppy, named Spice, came running after her. They played together all day, and soon it was time for dinner. Giggling, Patrice ran up the hill, being careful not to trip. They are about to make it, but as the last step is about to be taken, a huge mean dog comes out of nowhere. Spice fought a good fight, but in the end the Doberman Pincer overcame her. She was not going to make it." Billy started crying, for he was thinking of losing Sandy.
