Peewee's Tale (2000)
“I climbed out of my burrow and looked down at myself. My beautiful fur was matted with mud from my temporary home. Grooming myself was hard work.
I rolled in the wet grass at my feet. That loosened some of the mud, but I was still filthy. Then I had an idea. It was early, and although I could hear some birds singing in the trees above me, there were no people in sight. I ran in the direction of the lake. I remembered that every evening before he went to bed, Robbie took a bath. I could take a b...ath in the lake!
At the water’s edge, I stood for a moment looking at it all. I felt that I was looking at all the water in the world. I never knew that there could be so much. Bravely, I put one paw in. The water was icy, but when I took my paw out, I could see that it had become perfectly clean. So I took a deep breath and forced myself to walk into the freezing water. I shivered at first, but gradually, I didn’t feel the cold any more. I moved my paws and actually felt myself floating in the water.MoreLess
