Soon White learned how to 'sit', before his friend would let him eat. Then he learned 'down', and to 'speak'. It wasn't all boring, 'geddit-boy' was his favorite game, his friend would throw a stick, and White would chase it down and chew it up! But his friend always yelled at him to 'bring-it-back', or 'c'mere', or make strange noises that tickled his ears. White never understood what it was his friend wanted, and kept chewing away anyhow.
