“In the old days, no one but a King could have a dog for a pet.” One day one of the King’s dogs runs to a boy named Ben and doesn’t want to go back to the King. Ben wants to keep the dog, but he knows only a King can have a dog, so he asks what he would have to do to become a King. 
I won’t tell you how he does it, but “that is how Ben came to have a dog in the days when no one but a King could have one.”
The full title of the book is The Big Jump and Other Stories. The next story is called “Something New.” These are fun stories about a boy who is learning to think and to do difficult things to help others. But he is also willing to listen to the advice of adults rather than being smarter and wiser than they are.
