Dear Sudha,

I am writing to tell you about a puppy that Papa brought home for Nakul and me.

Nakul and I were so excited about our new family member! He was soon out of his basket

and running around the whole house sniffing everything. We threw a ball for him to catch

and he came back again for more games. It was too cute! He has already decided where he

wants to sleep. I can’t wait to show him to all my friends. I am going to call him Golu

because he is so round and fluffy.

I wish you could visit us and play with him too.

Do write soon.

Your friend,

Radha
