Introducing
Billy
DR. KELLER
By Delbert Blickenstaff
Grandpa did teach me a little song in Spanish and here it is:
Frey Philipe, Frey Philipe,
Duermes tu, Duermes tu,
Toca la Compana, Toca la Compana,
Tan, Tan, Tan, Tan, Tan, Tan.
It is easy to sing and it didn’t take me long to learn it. Grandpa said
it might be a lullaby that a mother would sing to her little boy
Philip. I’m going to sing it for Carlos and see what he says.
By the way, I found out that Carlos has the same last name as some of
the baseball players, Gonzalez.
We’ve finally learned to count to 100 in Kindergarten. It helps me to
think about coins when I count. Our teacher said that when we count to
5 that’s a nickel, and when we count to 10, that’s a dime. Maybe now
that I’m six years old I’ll start getting an allowance like Henry does.
I’ll even be able to count it. Now what can I spend it on?
Last week when Dad had a day off we took Nelly to the Vet. Henry went
along but Mom and Emily stayed home. Nelly really likes the Vet, Dr.
Keller. He talks to her as he is looking in her ears and eyes and
mouth. He listened to her heart. He even had her lie down while he
pressed on her belly. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he
was checking her for tumors. She didn’t have any. He said she was a
healthy dog and he gave us some more medicine to give her to keep her
that way. Maybe some day I’ll be a Vet and take care of other people’s
pets.
Dad might want me to be a doctor like him, but he has to work too much
and be away at night. Why do babies want to be born at night? I wish
Dad didn’t have to work so much.
