Explanation
James began to explain what he heard in the backyard and how he found this poor dog that needed help. His parents were not impressed by the new dog and didn’t want James to keep the animal. They felt like he wasn’t ready to look after a stray dog at his age.
But he kept arguing with them and in the end, he managed to get them to agree that he could keep the dog for a few days. Just when his parents said that they would allow it, James jumped for joy. Finally, he was going to be able to have someone to play with in his house.
