The dog looked friendly. It also looked lost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It had been roaming the streets for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it walked toward the butcher’s, hoping to beg for a bone, it heard a voice calling out from an alleyway between two shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Doggy come here” it called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dog looked around the corner to see who had called for it… was it a friendly person?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the dog studied the man he looked at it with a big smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the butcher’s assistant, holding something behind his back. It smelled delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he turned around he saw it was a fat,steaming sausage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dog scampered over with a “wuff!” as the butcher’s assistant put the sausage down on a paper plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I thought you would like this “said the friendly looking man with a a smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hey!” yelled a voice from inside the shop, “what are you doing out there wasting time?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the cruel butcher who ran the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Oh no,” the friendly man said, “you’d better go, we could be in big trouble if I’m caught sneaking you sausages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So he dashed into the shop and left the dog alone once more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dog, alone but with a full stomach, turned around to hear a very interesting sound from the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quick footsteps like something running away .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly a young woman ran past the dog at the mouth of the alley, with cries of “Stop! Thief!” echoing behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The person the woman was chasing was heading down the alleyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dog darted back and forth, trying to get out of the way, but with a cry of alarm the young woman thief tumbled over him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the person who had been stolen from went over to thank the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They reached down and took a heavy metal amulet from the dog, inset with jewels and with a strange glow, saying “the amulet of opium was almost stolen, thank you!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
