A Dog of Flanders

In Flanders there lived Nello

with his grandfather

His grandfather delivered milk

but they were very poor

One day

they were on their way home

after deliveries

Nello saw something

What is that

Hmm let’s go and see

Nello got closer and he found a dog

Grandfather he is hurt

Nello and his grandfather

took the dog to their house

Nello cured him and gave him milk

Then slowly

the dog opened its eyes

Hi I’m Nello

From now on

I’ll call you Patrasche

Let’s live together Patrasche

We can be good friends

Patrasche wagged his tail

As days passed

Nello’s grandfather got weaker

So Nello delivered the milk

with Patrasche

Patrasche that is the church

It has my favorite painting

But I can’t see it now

It costs too much money to see it

But I’ll see it someday

Alois came to see Nello

She was Nello’s good friend

Nello let’s go up the hill

Yes Let’s pick flowers there

From near

Alois’ father

was watching them

I don’t like that poor boy

Why is Alois playing with him

Up on the hill

Nello drew a picture of Alois

Just then

Alois’ father showed up

Don’t ever play with Alois again

Alois’ father took her and left

I want to be a famous artist

Patrasche

Then Alois’ father

won’t hate me so much

From then

Nello drew every day

I’ll hand this in for the contest

I will win the prize

Then I will have money

for Grandfather

Finally Nello finished

the painting and handed it in

Patrasche

the winner will be announced

on Christmas Eve

Nello’s heart fluttered

One day

Alois’ house caught fire

Nello helped put out the fire

But Alois’ father thought

Nello started it

It’s you who started the fire

No It wasn’t me

It’s you for sure

Get away from here

As winter came

Nello got fewer milk deliveries

For more days

Nello his grandfather

and Patrasche had to starve

They had no food

Then his grandfather died

No

Grandfather don’t leave me

Nello cried sadly

Patrasche cried sadly too

Moreover Nello and Patrasche

had to leave their house

They couldn’t pay the rent

The weather was cold and

they starved for days

Hang on Patrasche

Today is Christmas Eve

The winner of the contest

is announced today

Nello and Patrasche

went to find out

The winner’s painting

was on the wall

Oh no It isn’t mine

I have no luck

There is nothing for me now

It’s all over Patrasche

Nello started to cry

Patrasche wiped Nello’s tears away

Nello and Patrasche

walked through heavy snow

Patrasche found a wallet in the snow

It belonged to Alois’ father

Nello went to Alois’ house

Here I found

Alois’ father’s wallet

Thank you Nello

Madam

please take care of Patrasche

Leaving Patrasche there

Nello went to the church alone

Nello took off the cloth

on his favorite painting

But it was too dark

Oh no I can’t see it well

Nello fell to the ground

A while later

Patrasche came near him

Oh Patrasche You came

Just then the moonlight shined

Oh good I can see it now

This is enough

With a smile

Nello finally closed his eyes
