"The best things in life are free," pronounced Patrick.
"Raising a puppy is not even close to free," said Wiggle.
"The President said we could use a little less, and share with those less fortunate than we are. If we all pitch in, I'm sure we can help a little puppy with no place to go," Cricket explained.
"1-2-3-Red Light!" called Molly.
"Stop!" called Cricket.
"Stop what?" asked Patrick.
"Stop PUPPY MILLS!" said Henry.
"Go!" called Cricket.
"Go where?" asked Patrick, playing along.
"Right!" said Wigglebus. "And it sounds like you ARE going with adoption! It sounds like you have thought this whole thing out. Now you just have to find the right puppy. Have you asked Grannie Annie?"
"I'm sure it will be a boy. And I'm sure it will be named after me," he announced.
Cricket and Molly winked at each other, but did not say a word.
"I know who we should talk to before you pick out names, Mr. O'Malley," laughed Wiggle.
