The Faithful Dog and His Master

Once there lived a man in a village. He had a baby. The baby’s mother had died soon after its birth. He loved it very much. He also had a faithful dog. The dog was eager to serve his master.

One day, the baby had a high fever. The father went to the town to bring medicine for it. He left the baby in the cradle. The dog was there to look after it. The father came back as quickly as he could.

In the old man’s absence, a wolf entered the house. After some time, the old man returned with the medicine. He saw that the paws and the mouth of the dog were covered with blood. He thought that the dog had killed his baby. While the dog was licking his master’s feet, he shot the pet dead.

When the man went into the bedroom, he found the baby sleeping in the cradle. He also saw a wolf lying dead nearby. He at once realized his folly but it was too late. He felt guilty and repented for his blunder.

Moral: Look before you leap.
