Two Dogs

In "Two Dogs," a dog, after suffering under human control, seeks a wagging tail from the Creator to express affection and gain acceptance, embodying a simple lesson from stories about resilience and love. Observing this transformation, a later-created Politician requests a similar gift, receiving a wagging chin which he uses for personal gain, demonstrating a moral about the differences in intentions behind gestures. This folklore offers valuable insights for kids, making it a fitting choice among moral stories for class 7 and short bedtime stories with moral teachings.
