Dunce The Dog
Nearly in every house of our village lived a dog. Only no dog had Timofeev, a shop owner. But he got one. On a Sunday or Saturday, he closed the shop and went to Moscow. He bought a dog
of the strangest kind.
“What breed is this?”, asked Anna Petrovna, when the shop owner was walking the purchase near our house. “It’s not a breed. His name is Dunce.”
“It’s okay, maybe he is a good house guard.”
The shop owner only shrugged.
“Wait and see.”
And we saw very soon. That very night, When the whole village was sleeping a very deep sleep, all of the sudden Dunce started howling and howled ’till morning.
In the morning Anna Petrovna ran to Timofeev scolding,
“Why are you torturing the poor creature?”, she asked.
“Me?”
“It’s creepy!”
“I didn’t touch him”
“Maybe he is sick?”
“He is not sick, he ate a whole bowl of soup.”
“If you don’t stop hurting him, I will write a complaint.”
The following days the story repeated: at night Dunce was howling, and in the morning people
came to Timofeev scolding. The shop owner almost cried.
“You’d take him back to the real owner,” said Mitrich.
“The dog is crazy.”
“Where would I find the owner?”
“Then at least go to the vet. Because of him, there is NO SLEEP!”
Poor Timofeev had nothing to do but to go to the vet.
They came back only in the evening.
“So what is it?”
“The vet said he is healthy,” grumbled Timofeev.
“But he has one defect.”
“Which?”
“ Speech defect. He can’t bark, so he howls.”
“Wow!”, said Mitrich, “Maybe we will get more familiar with it.”
Soon the village learned about Dunces defectiveness and started bringing him goods. Because they knew it’s Dunces defect.
But then this story happened.
“After 3 months, at night in the shop crept two people. Dunce smelled them first and howled so loudly that even the villagers who were used to him were scared. And the bandits went crazy and ran away. After that, the villagers started bringing him even more goods.
The police that came because of the bandits asked Timofeev to sell Dunce to the police.
“Never!”
And he was right. Because no dog in the world has an outstanding defect. A speech defect.
