Hot Dog and Bob: Adventure 5 Read online

  “The—time—has—come—” Hot Dog said in a really weird slow voice, “for—this—ro—bot—to—go.” Then he switched back to his normal voice, “I’m just pullin’ yer leg again!” He laughed. “Hey, we sure do have some crazy fun together, don’t we?”

  “Oh, yeah,” Clementine said, rolling her eyes. “Some real crazy fun!”

  Hot Dog thanked us for our help, hugged us good-bye and pushed his forgetting button. A jet stream of forgetting dust sparkled behind him as he flew away.

  Clementine and I knew the routine. Like always, the forgetting dust worked on everyone but us. The kids and the dogs were back at the dog wash—as if nothing out of the ordinary had ever even happened. And we got to have doggy-slobber nightmares for weeks to come.

  The Royal Purple Potato of Bravery

  The next day Clementine came to school with something new in her backpack.

  “Hey, Bob,” she said, “you’ll never guess what I found under my pillow this morning.”

  “No way!” I said. “He kept his promise?”

  “Not to brag or anything,” she said, admiring the potato, “but I really do deserve this. Oh, here. He left a little something for you, too.”
