thank you so much and here's a short preview the dog and the sparrow a shepherd's dog had a master who took no care of him but often let him suffer the greatest hunger. At last he could bear it no longer,

so he took to his heels, and off he ran in a very sad and sorrowful mood. On the road he met a sparrow that said to him, Why are you so sad, my friend? Because, said the dog, I am very hungry and have nothing to eat. If that be all, answered the sparrow, Come with me into the next town, and I will soon find you plenty of food. So on they went together into the town,

and as they passed by a butcher's shop, the sparrow said to the dog, Stand there a little while till I peck you down a piece of meat. So the sparrow perched upon the shelf. And having first looked carefully about her to see if anyone was watching her, she packed and scratched at a stake, that lay upon the edge of the shelf, till at last down it fell. Then the dog snapped it up and scrambled away with it into a corner,

very soon ate it all up. Well, said the sparrow, you shall have some more if you will So come with me to the next shop And I will peck you down Another steak When the dog had eaten this too The sparrow said to him

Will my good friend Have you had enough now I have plenty of meat answered he But I should like to have a piece of bread To eat after it come with me then said the sparrow and you shall soon have that too so she took him to a baker's shop and pecked at two rolls that lay in the window till they fell down and as the dog still wished for more she took him to another shop and pecked down some more for him when that was eaten the sparrow asked him him whether he had enough now.

Yes, said he, and now let's take a walk a little way out of town. So they both went upon the high road. But as the weather was very warm, they had not gone far before the dog said, I am very much tired, I should like to take a nap. Very well, answered the sparrow. do so and in the meantime I will perch upon that bush. So the dog stretched himself out on the road and fell fast asleep. Whilst he slept there came by a carter with a cart drawn by three horses

and loaded with two casks of wine. The sparrow saying that the carter did not try to be. turn out of the way, but would go on in the track in which the dog lay, so as to drive over him, called out, stop, stop, Mr Carter, or it shall be the worse for you. But the Carter said, grumbling to himself, you make it worse for me indeed, what can you do? He cracked his whip and drove his cart. over the poor dog, so that the wheels crushed him to death, there cried the sparrow. Thou cruel villain, thou hast killed my friend the dog. Now mind what I say,

this deed of thine shall cost thee or thou art worth. Do your worst and welcome, said the brute. What harm can you do to me? And passed on. But the sparrow, crept under the tilt of the cart and pecked at the bung of one of the casks till she loosened it and then all the wine ran out without the cart of seeing it at last he looked round

and saw that the cart was dripping and the cask quite empty what an unlucky rich I am cried he not rich enough yet said the sparrow, as she alighted upon the head of one of the horses, and pecked at him till he reared up and kicked. When the carter saw this, he drew his hatchet and aimed a blow at the sparrow, meaning to kill her, but she flew away, and the blow fell upon a poor horse's

head with such force that he fell down dead. A lucky wretch that I am, cried he, Not rich enough yet, said the sparrow. And as the carter went on with the other two horses, she again crept under the tilt of the cart And pecked out the bung of the second cask So that all the wine ran out. When the carter saw this, he again cried out,

miserable wretch that I am but the sparrow answered not rich enough yet and he perched on the head of the second horse and pecked at him too the carter ran up and struck at her again with his hatchet

but away she flew and the blow fell upon the second horse and killed him on the spot a lucky wretch that I am said he, not rich enough yet, said the sparrow. And perching upon the third horse, she began to peck him too. Well, I hoped you enjoyed that preview. Please go to sleepcove.com slash support to hear the full episode now.
