        There once lived a dog and his mother. The dog had a friend, a horse who stayed with his mother. Both the families lived in the forest. The dog was naughty and was not respectful to others. But the horse was good and obedient. Both their parents were friends.

One day, the dog’s mother shouted at the dog. He did not listen to her and went out to play. The horse studied, later went out to play and his mother was glad. When he went to the dog’s house, his mother told the horse about her problem.

The horse was thinking of a solution and got an idea which was not to give the dog whatever he wished for. At least then, he would understand his mother’s plight. The dog’s mother did the same as the horse suggested.

After one day, the dog understood that he should respect the words of his elders.

The moral is always respects our elders.
