Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night

Big Bear Lake In August Henry and Henry's big dog Mudge always went camping. They went with Henry's parents.

Henry's mother had been a Camp Fire Girl, so she knew all about camping. She knew how to set up a tent. She knew how to build a campfire. She knew how to cook camp food.

Henry's dad didn't know anything about camping. He just came with a guitar and a smile. Henry and Mudge loved camping. This year they were going to Big Bear Lake, and Henry couldn't wait.

" We'll see deer, Mudge, " Henry said. Mudge wagged. " We'll see raccoons, " said Henry. Mudge shook Henry's hand.

" We might even see a bear, " Henry said. Henry was not so sure he wanted to see a bear. He shivered and put an arm around Mudge. Mudge gave a big, slow, loud yawn. He drooled on Henry's foot. Henry giggled. " No bear will get us, Mudge, " Henry said. " We're too slippery! "
