CHAPTER TWO

THIS STORY IS ABOUT A DOG, A CAT, A PIG etc;

This long tail dog, which at first he was call Rambler. It was quite a big dog, powerful looking; and, it was quite beautiful too. Nevertheless, eventually, its name was change to Grumbler. The reason for its name change was because it had developed a grumbling habit. It grumbles to itself and no one could understand why it does it. Even so, the same dog shared a home, with its owners, Mr. and Mrs. Falkner; and, a big black and white tomcat called Noodle. Well, liken to most mountain people, the Faulkner’s was raising animals of all kinds.

Mr. Faulkner, he loves Grumbler, and so, he takes it with him almost to everywhere he goes. That made Mr. Faulkner and Grumbler developed up into a good working team. Together they take care of the animals and so forth. Grumbler has been a reliable watchdog too; he helps with protecting the household at night. Now, as for Mrs. Faulkner, although, she loves both the dog and the cat, she shows favoritism toward the cat. Then, after Grumbler had noticed Mrs. Faulkner’s feelings for the cat; it got all upset over what it had noticed. Why did it get upset, so much? It was mainly because of unfairness, and nothing else!                                                    

Grumbler, being working away, as much as it did, in the field, with the animals; he couldn’t see much of what was going on at home. However, this one day, He couldn’t believe what he was seeing, when he saw the sort of treatment; that was given unto the Noodle, by Mrs. Faulkner. Her cares and attentions for Noodle were extremely superb, comparing to his. Then, Grumbler, when considered how faithful and a hard-worker he is, and how he has been living with the Faulkner’s long before Noodle. What he had seen bothered him. And that’s how his grumbling habit had begun.                                                                                     

And then, owing to his grumbling, they nicknamed him Grumbler. Consequently, that name stays with him almost throughout his entire life. However, he was really a good dog. He would go out to work in any types of weather. While Noodle, he would usually just peeps out through the door, and says, meehaw, meehaw, nasty weather today. Then stretched a little, sighed and went back to bed. The whole truth is, like all others cats, being idle; Noodle was more or less just an idle cat too. It was one, who only likes to eat, but hates working. As a result, Grumbler could no longer happy with living in the same home with Noodle. He therefore just kept on, worrying, and grumbling, for days and nights.                                                                          

Owing to, being confused and upset, Grumbler, every so often, he would baulk or shouted out these: a dog’s life, it’s a hard life. Unfair, unfair, a dog’s life, it has never been any good a life. This would happen even when he’d been out into the field, at work with Mr. Faulkner. Hence, all that began to bothered, Mr. Faulkner, up to a point whereby, he was rather baffled. Yes, he was getting rather worried; owing to, this unknown mood of his beloved dog, which is his good friend. And so, he took it to a veterinarian for an examination; the vet runs a check upon Grumbler, but the result, there wasn’t anything physically wrong with the dog at all.
