Mr．Robert had a son named Ben，a three-year-old boy．The little boy had been asking for a pet dog for two months，but his father kept saying，“Impossible．A dog will kill our rabbits．No way．”Ben was disappointed．

One evening，when Mrs．Robert was cooking potatoes in the kitchen，Ben cried，“Dad always says no．I'll never have a dog in a million years．”She looked at his face．How could she let him down again？An idea came to her to change her husband's mind．“Dear，I know a way to get you a dog，”she said．She handed Ben a potato and told him to keep the potato until it turned into a little dog．How cool Ben thought it was！

The next moming，Mr．Robert looked out of the window．Guess what？He saw Ben taking a potato for a walk．

“That's crazy，”Mr．Robert said to his wife．

“You're right．Your boy can't get a dog．He finally has a potato as a pet．He sleeps with it，talks with it and even showers with it，”she said．“Even cooking potatoes makes him cry．”

Mr．Robert felt worried a lot and made a decision．He brought back a cute little dog that night．Everyone was happy．Mr．Robert thought he saved his son．Ben was sure that his mother had magic．
