Clever Dog
For years, a dog turned up on the butcher’s doorstep every Wednesday morning to do its owner’s shopping. On this Wednesday morning, the dog walked into the butcher’s shop as usual with a purse around its neck. The butcher asked the dog what it wanted. It pointed its paw to the sausages.
"How many kilos”? The butcher asked.
The dog looked into his eyes and barked once. The butcher packed one kilo of sausages.
"Anything else”? He asked.
The dog pointed to the beef burgers.
"How many”? The butcher asked.
The dog barked four times. The butcher packed four beef burgers. The dog then walked behind the counter and stayed very still. So, the butcher could open its purse, take the right money and tie the meat around the dog’s neck. Then the dog turned around and walked off. A regular customer was surprised to see the dog doing its shopping and decided to follow it home. After about a kilometer, the dog approached a house and scratched the door. When it opened, the customer said to the woman inside the house.
"That’s a very clever dog you have, er?”
"Clever”? She replied, “Not really, that’s the second time this week it’s forgotten this front door keys.” |
