The old dog
The farmer had a dog. When the dog was old, the farmer thought
"The dog is very old. I don't want to give him food - he can't
work well."
So he drove the dog out. Poor dog! He walked and walked and
walked. He was very hungry. In the evening he saw a wolf. The
wolf said:" What's the matter with you? You look terrible!"
"I haven't got a home now. The farmer doesn't want me. I'm very
old now. I can't work much now and he doesn't want to feed me.
I'm hungry."
"I know how to help you", said the wolf.
In the morning the farmer went to work in the field. He took his
little son with him. He put his son down and started working. The
wolf ran up to the boy, took him and ran away with him.
When the farmer saw it, he ran after the wolf. But he couldn't get
his son back. Then the dog ran after the wolf. The dog took the
boy away from the wolf and brought the little boy to his father.
The farmer was very happy. He thanked the dog and said: "Excuse
me, please! You are a very good friend. Come back and live with
us."
The old dog was very happy!
