Щенок Рекс и его летние приключения в Турции. The Puppy Rex and his Summer adventures in Turkey

Journey starts!

It is summer now. School is over! We go on a vacation to Turkey. We sit in a big red bus. We go to the airport.

Mommy teaches us how to behave in the airport.

“Dear puppies,” she said. “You are going to fly in the plane for the first time in your life. You need to be nice and polite. Also you need to learn a rule of safety.”

“What rule?” I ask. “Tell us, Mommy, please.”

“The rule is: in the airport you need to stay together and hold the hand of your Mommy or Daddy,” Mother says.

“Ok, Mommy,” we say. “We are going to stay together in the airport!”

We are in the airport now. Daddy parks our big red bus in the parking lot. There are a lot of different cars in the parking lot. A lot of dogs like to travel too. We see a black Mercedes. Two poodles come out of the black Mercedes. Guess who these poodles are?

“Mommy, Daddy!” Timmy cries. “Look, these are our friends Bob and Bill!”

We are very glad to see our friends. Wewalk to their car.

“Hello Rex,” Bob says.

“Hello Mr. Arnold. Hello Mrs. Matilda. Hello Betsy and Timmy,” Bill says.

“Hello our dear friends,” we say. “We are very glad to see you!”

Two big poodles get out of the car. The Lady poodle is white and only her ears are black. And Man poodle is black, but his face and ears are white.

“This is our Mother Mrs. Mary and our Father Mr. Sher,” Bob says.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mary and Mr. Sher” we say.

“Where are you going on a vacation?” My Mother asks.

“We are going to Israel for a week and then to Turkey,” Mrs. Mary answers.

“We are going to Turkey too. We are going to stay there for two weeks. In which city in Turkey are you going to stay?” Our Mother asks.

“We are going to stay in Fethiye,” Mrs. Mary says. “And what about you?”

“We are flying to Dalaman and then we have a transfer to Fethiye.” Mother says.

“This is so wonderful! See you in Fethiye,” Mrs. Mary says. “And now it’s time to go! We do not want to miss our flight!”

“See you in Turkey!” we say.

Oh, our vacation is going to be wonderful!

In the airport

We go inside the airport. The airport is very big. It is crowded in the airport. There are a lot of other dogs going to their flights. We remember the rule of safety. We hold our Mummy’s and Daddy’s hands. But Timmy doesn’t follow the rule. He starts to run away.

“Timmy, stop! Come back!” Father cries. “Do you remember the rule of safety? We need to stay together and hold hands.”

Timmy comes back with a sad face.

“But I want to run in the airport,” he says. “It is very interesting to run in a new place. I want to see what the airports looks like.

“Timmy,” says Mother very strictly. “If you run and don’t hold your parents’ hands you can be lost. It is very crowded in the airport.”

“Ok,” says Timmy with a sad voice. “I am going to hold your hand, Mommy. I don’t want to be lost in the airport.”

“All right, Timmy,” Mother says. “Now we need to go to the registration desk, take our boarding pass and give them our luggage.”

“I am not giving my luggage to anyone!” cries Timmy. “I need it myself!”

“Don’t worry, Timmy,” says Daddy. Your luggage will fly with us in the same plane. You can take it back after the flight.”

“All right,” says Timmy.

We go to the registration desk. A nice Lady Dog in a green suit meets us there.

“Good afternoon,” she says. “Where are you flying?”

“Good afternoon, we are flying to Dalaman,” Father answers.

“May I have your passports, please?” Lady asks.

“Here they are,” Daddy gives our passports to the Lady.

The Lady looks at our passports, looks at the computer and gives us our boarding pass.

“Your gate is number eleven,” says the Lady and gives our passports back to Daddy.

“Gate? What is it, Mommy?” asks Betsy.

“The gate to our plane. We need to find it in the airport,” Mother explains.

“Thank you very much!” Daddy says to the Lady.

“You are welcome. Have a nice flight!” The Lady says.

We go to the second floor of the airport on the elevator. We find our gate number eleven. We see a lot of other dogs near the gates.

“Now we need to take our seats and wait. Stewardess will invite us to get on a plane.” Mother explains.

“When the stewardess invites us, I will run very quickly to the plane. I want to be the first!” says Timmy.”

“Oh Timmy, Timmy,” says Mother, “Polite puppies do not run to the plane. They stay in line and wait for their turn to get on to the plane.”

“Waiting is boring,” says Timmy. “Running is fun!”

“But if everyone runs it is going to be dangerous,” says Father.”

“Oh,” says Timmy, “Travelling is not fun. There are too many rules!”

“Timmy, if you do not follow the rules travelling can be dangerous. But if you follow the rules, you can have a lot of fun and be safe!”

In the plane

We are in the plane. The plane is going to take off very soon. Me, Betsy and Timmy are sitting in the same row in the first class. I have a window seat, Timmy has an aisle seat and Betsy is sitting between us. Our Mother and Father are sitting across the aisle.

Betsy is reading a book about Turkey.

The stewardess comes and says: “Dear passengers, our plane is ready to take off. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.”

We fasten our seatbelts. The plane starts to slowly move and then to move faster and faster. In three minutes our plane takes off!

I look out the window. It is like magic! Everything becomes little: trees, roads, cars, houses…

“Betsy, Timmy, look out the window!” I say.

“Wow!” says Betsy. “It is so beautiful outside! I can see the sky and clouds.”

“Yes,” I say. “I can see the sky and clouds and little houses. It is so wonderful!”

“But I can’t see anything!” Timmy cries. “It is because I have an aisle seat and you – Rex, have a window seat.”

“I understand, Timmy,” I say. “On the way back you will have a window seat and I will have an aisle seat.”

“Thank you, Rex!” Timmy says.

The stewardess comes again and says:

“Dear passengers, now we will offer you some drinks and sandwiches.”

We are very excited.

Mommy says: “Puppies, when the stewardess offers you drinks and sandwiches, please be very polite. You should say: ‘I would like’ instead of ‘I want.”

“Yes, of course, Mommy!” I say.

“Do not worry, Mommy, I will be the politest Puppy,” Timmy says.

Two stewardesses come with a food cart. One stewardess asks me:

“What would you like to eat, Mr. Puppy: a sandwich with fish or with chicken?”

“I would like a fish sandwich, please,” I say.

And what would you like to drink: water no gas, coke, apple juice, orange juice or tomato juice?”

“I would like some coke, please.”

“Here it is.” The stewardess gives me some coke and a fish sandwich.”

“And what would you like, Miss Puppy?” The stewardess asks Betsy.

“I would like a chicken sandwich and some orange juice, please.”

“Here it is,” says the stewardess and gives the food and drink to Betsy.

“And I want two sandwiches with fish, one sandwich with chicken, three glasses of tomato juice and five glasses of coke!” says Timmy.

In Turkey

Now it is time to take our luggage. We go to the luggage claim tape. We see a lot of bags of different colors: grey, brown, black, pink, yellow… But where are our bags?

We wait and wait and wait. Finally, Betsy cries:

“I see my pink bag! I am so glad!”

“Yes, my dear, this is your bag! You can take it from the luggage claim tape,” Mother says.

Betsy takes her bag.

“Mummy,” she says, “There is a little piece of paper on my pink bag.”

“Yes my dear, please read it”

“It says ‘Betsy”.

“This is very good. It means – this bag is yours.”

“Of course this bag is mine!”

“Well, my dear,” Mummy says, “In the airport there are a lot of bags, right?”

“Yes,” Betsy says.

“So the other puppy girl can have the same pink bag as yours. That is why you need to find your name on this little piece of paper. Now you know for sure – this is your bag!”

“Thank you Mummy!”

“I see my big brown bag!” says our Daddy.

Daddy takes his bag from the luggage claim tape. He looks at the little piece of paper on his bag it says: ‘Arnold’. My Dad is glad.

“I see my yellow bag on the claim tape!” Mommy says.

“I see my green bag!” Timmy says.

And finally I see my blue bag!

“We have our luggage now. It is time to go out of the airport.” Daddy says.

We go outside the airport.

“I can’t believe we are in Turkey now!” I say. “I am abroad for the first time in my life. It is very exciting!”

“Yes, it is so exciting to travel abroad,” Daddy says.

“The sun is shining so brightly in Turkey.” Betsy says.

“Oh, it is so hot here,” Timmy says.

“You are right, Timmy,” Mummy says. “Puppies, please, put your hats on.”

Betsy, Timmy and I open our bags to take our hats. I find my Cowboy hat and put it on. I look like a real Cowboy now!

Betsy puts her pink cap on. She looks very pretty in it.

“Betsy, you look like a real tourist now!” Daddy says.

“Thanks Daddy,” my sister answers.

But Timmy cannot find his hat in his bag.

“Mummy, Daddy,” He cries, “I forgot to put my hat in the bag!”

“Timmy, do not worry we are going to buy a new hat for you. We have just one little problem…”

“What’s the problem?” asks Timmy.

“Does anyone know how to say ‘hat’ in Turkish?”

Transfer in a Limousine

We need a transfer to the hotel now. A white limousine arrives to pick us up.

The driver is a Scottish Terrier. He wears a white suit and a white cap, but his fur is black.

“Hello, dear guests,” says the driver with a Turkish accent. “Welcome to Dalaman! My name is Mr. Mustapha and I am your driver today! Please take your seats in the limousine.” Mr. Mustapha opens the door to the car. “I hope you will enjoy the trip. All refreshments that you can find inside the limousine are presents for you from our hotel!”

“Thank you very much, Mr. Mustapha!” says our Father.

We take our seats inside the white limousine. There are a lot of space inside. Everything is made out of natural leather and wood. The seats are very comfortable.

“Mummy, Daddy!” Timmy cries. “Look at all these food and drinks!”

We look at the bar. We see a lot of plates with pizza, and chocolate cookies; bottles with coke, lemonade and water with no gas.

“Is it all for us?” Timmy asks the driver.

“Yes it is,” Mr. Mustapha answers. “It’s a present from our hotel.”

Timmy takes the first plate with a big piece of pizza.

“It is pepperoni!” he cries. “Pepperoni is my favorite pizza! It is so yummy!” Timmy starts to eat.

“Let’s see, what do we have here.” says Daddy and takes the next plate. “It is Caesar Pizza. Matilda, Caesar is your favorite pizza, would you like to have a piece?”

“That would be wonderful! Thank you my dear!” Mother takes the plate and starts to eat.

Daddy takes another plate: “This is pepperoni again. Who would like a piece?”

“I do!” I say and take a plate with a delicious piece of pizza. “I like pepperoni a lot!”

“What kind of pizza would you like, my dear daughter?” Daddy asks Betsy.

“Daddy, I don’t really want pizza. Can I have some chocolate cookies?”

“Of course you can. Here it is my Dear.” Daddy gives a plate with chocolate cookies to Betsy.

“Thank you very much, Daddy!” Betsy starts to eat cookies. “These cookies have an orange fiIIing. It is tasty!”

“I am glad you like it.” Daddy says. “And I think I’ll have a piece of a Caesar pizza.”

After eating these tasty refreshments, we drink some lemonade, coke and water with no gas. We are very happy. We really enjoy our limousine trip.

“Dear guests,” Mr. Mustapha says. “There is a PlayStation here in the car. Would you like to play?”
