Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, little dreamers. I'm Sarah, and to day's magical tale
is called The Mischievous Dog. Are you ready? Let's begin.
Once upon a time, in a bustling little village there
was a playful and mischievous dog named Max. Max loved
to run around and bark at every one who passed by.

(00:22):
He thought it was the funniest thing to sneak up
on people, barking loudly and making them jump. The villagers
would laugh at first, but soon they grew tired of
his constant tricks. Max's owner, a kind old man, decided
to tie a bell around Max's neck. This way, the

(00:44):
old man said, every one will hear you coming and
won't be startled by your surprises. Max thought the bell
was a wonderful new toy. He paraded through the village,
the bell jingling merrily with every step he took, feeling
in important and special. At first, Max loved all the

(01:05):
attention the bell brought him, but soon he noticed something strange.
Whenever he tried to surprise the villagers with his barking,
they weren't startled anymore. They could hear him coming from
far away, and they just smiled and waved or sometimes
ignored him altogether. Even the cats who used to run

(01:29):
and hide at his approach just sat and watched him
with amusement. Max began to feel a little sad he
missed the excitement of his old tricks, even if they
did annoy the villagers. He realized that his constant mischief
had made people wary of him, and now they didn't

(01:50):
take him seriously. Max understood that it was more fun
when he was genuine and friendly, rather than always trying
to trick people. From that day on, Max decided to
use his energy to play nice games with the children
and help the villagers with little tasks like fetching things.

(02:14):
He found that they appreciated him much more, and he
was happier too. So Max learned that being kind and
thoughtful was much better than playing tricks on others all
the time, and he discovered that it was more rewarding
to have friends who liked him for who he was,

(02:35):
not for the tricks he played. And that's the end
of today's tale, my little adventurers. I hope you enjoyed
