“Why Dogs Wag their Tails”

A rich man in a certain town once

owned a dog and a cat, both of which were very
useful to him. The dog had served his master for
many years and had become so old that he had
lost his teeth and was unable to fight anymore,
but he was a good guide and companion to the
cat who was strong and cunning. The master
had a daughter who was
attending school at a convent some distance
from home, and very often he sent the dog and
the cat with presents to the girl. One day he
called the faithful animals and bade them carry
a magic ring to his daughter. “You are strong
and brave,” he said to the cat. “You may carry
the ring, but you must be careful not to drop it.”
And to the dog he said, “You must go with the
cat to guide her and keep her from harm.”They
promised to do their best, and started out. All
went well until they came to a river. As there
was neither bridge nor boat, there was no way
to cross but to swim. “Let me take the magic
ring,” said the dog as they were about to plunge
into the water. “Oh, no,” replied the cat, “the
master gave it to me to carry.” “But you cannot
swim well,” argued the dog. “I am strong and
can take good care of it.”The cat refused to give
up the ring until finally the dog threatened to
bite her, and then she reluctantly gave it to him.
The river was wide and the water so swift that
they grew very tired, and just before they
reached the opposite bank the dog dropped the
ring. They searched carefully, but could not find
it anywhere, and after a while they turned back
to tell their master of the sad loss. Just before
reaching the house, however, the dog was so
overcome with fear that he turned and ran away
and never was seen again. The cat went on
alone, and when the master saw her coming he
called out to know why she had returned so
soon and what had become of her companion.
The poor cat was frightened, but as well as she
could she explained how the ring had been lost
and how the dog had run away. On hearing her
story the master was very angry, and
commanded that all his people should search for
the dog, and that it should be punished by
having its tail cut off. He also ordered that all
the dogs in the world should join in the search,
and ever since when one dog meets another he
says, “Are you the old dog that lost the magic
ring? If so, your tail must be cut off.” Then
immediately each shows his teeth and wags his
tail to prove that he is not the guilty one. Since
then, too, cats have been afraid of water and
will not swim across a river if they can avoid it.
And that was a tale about a tail – and why dogs
wag their tails.

Who was unable to fight? Dog Ma’am!

Why the dog did wants to carry the ring? Because the cat cannot swim

Did the Cat give the ring to the dog willingly? No, Ma’am!
