A

A child was standing on a street-corner，kicking carelessly at the stone on the ground.After a time，a little dark-brown dog came running down the sidewalk.A short rope was dragging from its neck.It stopped opposite the child.The child put out his hand and called it.The dog came close，and the two had an interchange of friendly pats and waggles.The dog became more enthusiastic with each moment of the interview，until it prepared to overturn(扑倒) the child，so the child lifted his hand and struck the dog a blow upon the head.

This thing seemed to overpower and astonish the little dark-brown dog，and wounded it to the heart.It sank down in despair at the child's feet.When the blow was repeated，it turned over upon its back，and held its paws in an unusual manner.At the same time with its ears and eyes it offered a small prayer to the child.It looked so funny on its back，holding its paws strangely，that the child was greatly amused and gave it little taps repeatedly to keep it so.But the little dark-brown dog took this in the most serious way，and no doubt considered that it had committed some serious crime，for he twisted regretfully and showed its regret in every way that was in his power.It appealed to the child and offered more prayers.

At last the child grew tired of this amusement and turned toward home.The dog lay on its back and kept its eyes upon the_retreating_form.Soon it struggled to its feet and started to go after the child.On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog，but it continued secretly to follow the child.When the child reached his door-step，the dog became so excited with shame when it again faced the child that it forgot the dragging rope.It walked upon it and fell forward.

The child sat down on the step and the two had another interview.During it the dog tried its best to please the child.It performed a few jumps with such abandon that the child suddenly saw it to be a valuable thing.He made a swift charge and seized the rope.He dragged the dog to the door of his home.The child sat down on the floor and made gestures to the dog.And the dog instantly accepted these.It showed affection to its new friend.In a short time they were firm and everlasting comrades，and the poor

dog was finally introduced to its new home.
