Joseph was having a Labor Day cookout for his friends, Vance, Scott, and Lucy. He was grilling hot dogs and burgers on the grill. There were sodas and water in the cooler. It was a beautiful, crisp September day. Vance and Lucy were arm wrestling, and Scott was listening to chill hop music on his phone.

The hot dogs and burgers were now ready. "I'm starving!" said Vance.

"And, I'm thirsty!" said Scott. He got a Sprite out of the cooler. Lucy got a Dr Pepper, and a hot dog. All of a sudden, Joseph's dog came out of the house, and knocked over the food, before anyone had a chance to eat. As a result, everything was on the grass.

"Bad dog!" scolded Joseph. "Get back inside the house!" His dog growled, and went back in the house. His friends were mad at the dog for knocking the food onto the grass.

There was no easy way to say it. The cookout was ruined.
