Maybe, I am not big enough to get dressed all by myself.”      Suddenly,                           was sniffing and making sounds by the                           .                           slowly made his way to see what was wrong with                           .  He was surprised to see                          sitting by the                          with the missing                      hanging from the side of his mouth.
