The Dog
How Dog became the men best friend
The dog had no place to live, so he went to the tiger to live with him, but when they went a-hunting the dog barked and frightened the prey away. The tiger did not like this, so he would not have the stay with him, as he could not hunt with a barking dog. Then the dog went to the elephant but the elephant turned him away saying, “If you bark, the tiger will find us.” Then he went to the wild dog, they hunted small animals together all day and ate them, but the wild dog who hunts in silence was annoyed at the dog who barked much. Therefore the wild dog left him, and the dog went next to the barking deer, but he wanted to devour the deer’s young so the deer too left him. So at last, the dog went to man, and man taught him to hunt and found his barking useful, so he kept and cherished him.
The Bear
The bear is such a funny animal. He builds a house a tree and goes to sleep on it. When it rains he wakes up and says, “I must have made a mistake. This is not my house, as I have built my house so well that rain could not get through.” So he climbs down the tree, and when he gets to the bottom and examines the tree, he’d say “This is very funny. It is my own house right enough. I had better go back.” So he climbs up and again goes to sleep. When the rain starts again he gets wet and repeats exactly what he did before.
