A Tale of The Talking Dog
The Tail of the Dog
In the beginning only the dog could speak. He went around
everywhere, revealing the secret of the creation of things and the origin of gods.
When the great gods realized the talkative dog could not hold his tongue and keep the secrets, the Creator decided: "Let this talker's marvelous tongue be taken From his head and put it behind him, and let what is now behind him, be attached to his head."
So it is now that when the dog wants to speak and tell things, no expression appears on its face but there it is behind him, the tail that came from his head.
And so the dog has stayed with us, he who once betrayed his secrets. And even now, he only moves his tail when he wants to tell us something or when he is happy with his master.
