Question

I arrived at my babysitting job around 6 p.m. Before the parents left, the mom gave me a number where I could reach them. Soon, I was alone with a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old. I put the 2-year-old, Elizabeth, to bed around 7:30. The 7-year-old, Zoë, was painting a picture. I decided to start doing some homework.
Around 8:15, the power went out! I got out some candles and lit them. Zoë and I were a little scared. We started playing a board game. After a few minutes, we heard a sound at the door. I went to the door and opened it. Suddenly, a small dog ran through. He was very muddy and wet. Zoë and I chased him around and started laughing. The floor was soon covered in mud. I finally caught him and put him in the sink. The dog needed a bath.
