The Dog
was walking back home
holding three
sacks of gold coins
to buy herself
a new toy or
something pretty
Along the way
She encounters a
hairy pig
Who was crying.
When their eyes met,
The hairy pig
pleads,
“Please lend me
a sack of coins!
I need them for
my wife’s health!”
Feeling
sympathy,
She gave the pig
her first sack
The pig smiles
and scurries away
Before she moved
on,
She meet a dainty
mouse
Who looks down
as if someone
ruined her day
The mouse asks
kindly,
“Can you please
lend me a sack of coins?
I need them to
buy books for school!”
Wanting to help,
The dog gives
the mouse her sack
The mouse snickers
and runs off
With only one
sack left,
She encounters a
jittery snake
with eyes as
wide
as Chinese
dragon’s eyes.
He hissed
nervously,
“Please lend me
a sack!
I need them to
buy fresh bread.”
Avoiding the
word “no”,
The dog gives
the snake her last sack.
The snake grins
and undulates away
Sighing happily,
The dog heads to
the village
As she reaches
home,
She sees
familiar faces…
The swine, now
drooling,
Uses his sack to
be
with exotic
cats.
The rat, now
wicked,
uses her sack to
win
more gold coins.
The viper,
blending in the
dark alley,
uses his sack
on a different sack
Filled with white
powder
Bewildered by
the scene,
the dog wonders,
“Did I do a good deed?”
