Tom the dog Learns a Lesson

Once upon a time, there lived a dog whose name was Tom. Tom was a good dog most of the time. You see, Tom liked to eat his owner’s food. One day Tom was bored of his kibble. He wanted something else to eat. So he decided to eat the sandwich that was sitting on the table. His owner had gone to work, forgetting to put it away. So Tom happily walked up to the table, set his front paws on top of the table, stretched out his neck and clamped his teeth on the roast beef sandwich. Tom devoured the food. When Tom’s owner came home he said, “Hum, that’s funny, I thought I put away the sandwich. And now I can’t find it! Oh, well.” The next morning, Tom felt sick. Very sick. Was it the sandwich that he ate? It sure seemed like it. Tom was sorry that he ate the sandwich. Wouldn’t it just be better for him to eat his dog food? From then on, Tom never ate people food again and he was always satisfied with his kibble.
