 Harry the Dirty Dog

by Gene Zion

Illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham

Harry is a white dot with black spots who loves everything… except baths. So one day before bath time, Harry runs away. He plays outside all day long, digging and sliding in everything from garden soil to pavement tar. By the time he returns home, Harry is so dirty he looks like a black dog with white spots. His family doesn’t even recognize him!

 「哈利」是一隻有黑點的白狗。牠什麼都愛，就是不愛洗澡。有一天，不想洗澡的哈利溜到外頭玩耍，到了傍晚，髒兮兮的哈利竟變成了一隻「有白點的黑狗」！為了要讓主人認出牠來，哈利使出渾身解數。最後……，牠衝進浴室，跳進浴缸，請家人幫牠洗澡。終於，哈利變回了原來的模樣。那天晚上，牠舒舒服服的在墊子上睡了一個好覺。對於老是玩得一身髒的孩子來說，哈利根本就是他們的化身！
