A DOG'S TALE

Long time ago, Dog used to live in forest like his cousins Fox and Wolves but there was a terrible famine in the land so great that the animals decided to eat the old amongst them in turn.



Dog was not okay with this plan as it meant his mother whom he loved so much would have to die.
Lion was the first to give up his parents for the groups survival. Wolves, Hyena, Fox, Leopard and Cheetah went next. Dog knew his turn would soon come and so he began to devise a plan. Few days to his turn, he told the entire kingdom that his mum was sick with chicken pox, all the animals stayed away from her because of the fear of being infected. Two days later he announced her death, The animals mourned with him and told him to go ahead and bury her

Dog took his mother and hid her in a very tall tree, he would come everyday to communicate with her and bring her food. When ever he came, he would sing a song and his mother would send a long rope down for him to climb.
After a while before Fox noticed Dog's disappearing and appearing act. He began to observe him and when he was very sure, he decided to follow him. He could not believe what he saw. THE DOG HAD DECEIVED THEM ALL, Fox was filled with anger

He quickly ran back and informed the others. They were all angry and decided Dog had to pay for his deceit. While they were on their way to the tree, Mother Dog looked out and saw the other animals coming with anger towards them. She knew they were exposed, fearing what will happen to her son if he's caught she asked him to escape while she provide a distraction for him. She wasn't much of a fight, after the animals were done eating her they went after Dog

But it was too late to make him pay, he'd left the forest boundary into the realm of men
