Hi fellow members
Could some member/s go through this short passage and correct any mistakes I have made.
Thanks in advance.
Bravo is a mischievous dog. Formerly, I often came home to see the litter-bin in my house toppled with its contents on the floor. On seeing the mess, I would take it to the litter-bin and beat him on his buttocks with my hand. However, this did not work as he would do the same thing again and again.
One afternoon, on seeing the mess, I decided to punish him by putting him in the toilet and closing the sliding door. I had intended to leave him there for a few minutes, but somehow I forgot about him being left there. It was only about half an hour later that I realised that I had 'locked' him up in the toilet. On discovering that, I wasted no time in opening the sliding door.
However, the method of punishment worked. He finally got the message and nowadays, I don’t see him toppling the litter-bin again.
