  Story by Gil Muntin Illustrated by

  Tim Oachbulb Our house
• 0:35
  isn't much to look at I doubt if
• 0:38
  you'd bother to stop next to
• 0:41
  it If you went along Mount
• 0:44
  Street That's our street Not that anyone much goes along Mount Street It's that
• 0:52
  kind of street Our house is sort of pink with a red door and a little garden all around it.
• 1:02
  I can't begin to count the weeds in the garden.
• 1:07
  Bounder, Grandad's greyhound, is always digging up the ground looking for his bouncy ball.
• 1:19
  We've got bedrooms, one for Mum, one for Grandad and Bounder, one for me and Carl.
• 1:29
  Carl plays his CDs for hours, so loud but ouch.
• 1:36
  My head starts to pound. Then Mum shouts up the stairs and says, stop that!
• 1:42
  She can get a bit grouchy, our Mum. Most days we have our dinner on the couch watching TV,
• 1:52
  Last week, Boundo found a bit of egg sandwich next to Grandad's chair.
• 2:00
  He pounced on it and devoured it at top speed.
• 2:10
  We've just got one small bathroom, so when Boundo's having his bath,
• 2:16
  You can forget about going to the loo or washing your hands for about ten hours.
• 2:25
  Grandad gets shampoo and dog hairs all over the floor and guess who gets to mop it up?
• 2:35
  Carl, I'm in bed as I'm telling you all this. I was just thinking,
• 2:42
  it doesn't sound much, our house, but it's not that bad.
• 2:48
  Tonight mum sent me to the corner shop to get some flour and I got a pound for sweets.
• 2:57
  They were so good, I stuffed about six into my mouth.
• 3:01
  When I got back, Bounder stuck his snout into my hand and started to lick my arm.
• 3:14
  They're fantastic dogs, Rayhounds, and so fast.
• 3:21
  Bounder can run about 60 kilometres an hour.
• 3:26
  And Carl and I went to the Southways Park to have a kickabout in the playground.
• 3:35
  He's a knockout footballer, Carl.
• 3:39
  He plays for our school. I'm getting proud of him.
• 3:43
  And when I went to bed, Randa chatted to me as I brushed my teeth.
• 3:51
  Then he said, was I too old for a story?
• 3:58
  I said, no, I wasn't. Our house is too small, full of shouting,
• 4:05
  a bit of a mess, well, some days.
• 4:07
  But it's never boring. Our house is, well, it's all right. The end.
• 4:15
  Thank you for listening. The book we are reading is Greyhounds,
• 4:21
  text written by Gillam Muntin and illustrated by John Davis.
• 4:27
  Greyhounds were first kept as hunting dogs.
• 4:32
  They are the fastest breed of dog and can run at speeds of about 65 kilometres an hour.
• 4:43
  That's fast as a car. Greyhounds are
• 4:46
  good looking dogs A greyhound is
• 4:49
  tall and still With a long narrow
• 4:53
  snout And long legs It has an arched neck And a deep chest It has a short smooth
• 5:02
  hair A greyhound will give birth To between 1 and 12 pups.
• 5:12
  Pups will grow fast and will grow to be about 69 to 76 centimetres tall.
• 5:25
  They will live to be between 9 and 15.
• 5:29
  A greyhound is a good pet. You can get a pup and you can adopt a dog greyhound
• 5:37
  that has been a racing dog.
• 5:39
  You will need a lot of cash for Teddy Green Puff.
• 5:48
  Greyhounds are sweet dogs, but they can be timid.
• 5:52
  They do not bark much. They are not always good with very small children.
• 6:00
  As small children run about and shout.
• 6:04
  Greyhounds can run fast, but they sleep a lot too.
• 6:09
  Feed your adult greyhound two mugs of dog food a day.
• 6:14
  Look after your dog's mouth by brushing its teeth.
• 6:20
  Grill your dog with a brush every week.
• 6:25
  You do not need a big garden for your greyhound or small yard will do.
• 6:32
  Do not let your greyhound run free when it's out and about Or it may run off
• 6:39
