A couple had been married for several years without a child.
For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler
puppy, named it Hatchi and loved her like a child. The dog
had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to
become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions
saved d couples from robbery. Hatchi was always faithful,
loyal and defended its owners against any danger.
Seven years later, the couple was blessed to have the long-
awaited son. They were very happy with their new son and
decreased the
attention they had been giving the dog. Hatchi felt neglected
and began to get jealous
of the baby.
One day the couple left the baby sleeping peacefully in his
cradle and went to
the terrace to prepare a roast. They were shocked as they
were heading
to the nursery and saw Hatchi in the hallway with a bloody
mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's owner thought the worst,
pulled out a weapon and immediately killed the dog. Rushed
to the baby's room and found a beheaded snake close to the
baby. The owner begins to mourn and exclaims I killed my
faithful dog!
How often have we misjudged people without finding out

The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant’s garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up ...
