A dog was so faithful that a woman could leave her baby with it to attend to other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him. One day, something tragic happened.
The woman as usual left the baby in the "hands" of the dog and went shopping. When she returned, she discovered a rather nasty scene. There was a little mess.. .. The baby's cot was dismantled, his nappies and clothes torn to shreads with blood stains all over the bedroom where she left the baby wit the dog. Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby. All of a sudden, she saw the faithful dog emerging from under d bed.
It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as it just finished a delicious meal. The woman went berserk and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby. Without much thought, she beat the dog to death with wood. But as she continued searching for the remains of her child, she beheld another scene. Close to the bed was the baby who although lying on bare floor was safe and under the bed. The body of a snake torn into pieces in what must have been a fierce battle with the dog.
Reality now dawned on the woman who now began to understand what took place in her absence. The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous snake. It was too late for her to make amends because in her impatience and anger she killed d faithful dog.
How often have we misjudged people and torn them to pieces wit harsh words and deeds before we have time to evaluate d situation. Don't take important decisions in anger and avoid jumping into conclusions
