Once upon a time， there was a girl called Ria. She had a pet dog， whose namewas Johnny.

One night， Ria saw her dog wearing a suit1 and walking on 2 feet. Ria was very shocked2. She couldnt believe what was happening. She went to her dog and said，“Oh！ Is this really happening？ Johnny！ You can walk on two feet like a human？ Youare wearing a suit like a gentleman？ I just cant believe my eyes！ ”Johnny replied3in a human voice and said， “I knew that you would get to know about this one day.”She pinched4 her cheek5 and was sure that she wasnt dreaming.

Johnny said again， “Let me take you to a place.”Then Johnny took the girltowards a red car. Johnny was driving the car. Ria was shocked again. When theyarrived， they saw a big building， which was decorated6 with colorful lights. On thesecond floor of the building was a big restaurant and there were many other dogs.Johnny told Ria that all dogs came here to relax after a hard day. Ria saw somepoodles singing， dancing， and eating. A labrador came with some drinks for Ria andher dog. What an amazing7 club！

Then Ria told Johnny that she really liked the place. And she asked if shecould invite8 others to come here. Johnny said， “You shouldnt tell anyone aboutthis place. You can come here anytime but please dont tell other people. This isour secret.”Ria happily agreed9.

From them on， Ria and Johnny came to the secret club every night. They madefriends with many dogs and had a lot of fun there.

從前，有个女孩叫里亚。她有一只宠物狗，名字叫约翰尼。

一天晚上，里亚看到她的狗穿着一套西装，用两只脚走路。她非常震惊，简直不敢相信正在发生的一切。她走到她的狗跟前说：“哎呀！这是真的吗？约翰尼！

你像人类一样在用两只脚走路？像绅士一样穿着西装？我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛！”约翰尼用人类的声音回答道：“我就知道总有一天你会知道的。”她捏了捏自己的脸颊，确定自己不是在做梦。

约翰尼又说道：“我带你去一个地方吧。”然后它带着女孩走向一辆红色的汽车。是约翰尼开的车。里亚又一次震惊了。到达后，他们看到了一幢用彩灯装饰的大楼。大楼的二楼是一家大餐厅，餐厅里有很多狗。约翰尼告诉里亚，所有的狗都是在辛苦了一天后来这里放松的。里亚看到几只贵宾犬正在唱歌、跳舞和吃饭。一只拉布拉多犬为里亚和约翰尼拿来了一些饮料。多么神奇的俱乐部啊！

里亚告诉约翰尼，她真的很喜欢这个地方。她又问是否可以邀请其他人来这里。约翰尼说：“你不能告诉任何人。你可以随时来这里，但请不要告诉其他人。这是我们的秘密。”里亚愉快地答应了。

从那以后，里亚和约翰尼每天晚上都来这个秘密俱乐部。他们和许多狗成为了朋友，在那里玩得十分开心。
