Once upon a time there was a wild dog and a boy. The boy name was Jake.
When Jake was little he like puppies because they were cute and he
can could play with them. One day Jake asked his mom "Why can't we
have puppies like the one I usually go play with in our backyard in
afternoon" and his mom said "never go play again with the puppies."
Jake started wondering why his mom said not to go play with
puppies, he didn't know what to do but he still went to play with them.
One day Jake's mom caught him and took him inside the house.
His mom said "go take a shower those puppies never take shower and
you can get sick with the bacteria they have on their body." Since
that time Jake haven't gone to played with puppies and started staying away
from puppies and dog. While coming from his friend’s house he saw there
was a dog who was sleeping on side walk. Jake had known that all the dogs
are wild at the place where he is living so nobody would take them as a pet and
they became wild dog that will bite anyone. The dog was sleeping that's
what Jake thought and he was trying to walk as quiet as possible but the dog
woke up and started barking at the boy. The boy became really scared and
the dog started running at him and Jake ran back to his friend's house.
Jake was safe since he reached his friend’s house and from that day he started
hating the wild dogs.
Since that incident Jake started throwing rocks at the wild dogs
just like everyone. Whenever there is a dog that pass by with no owner he
gets scared because of the experience he had during his childhood. He only like
the dog that are trained and don't bite people. Jake want's a puppy or
dog that are trained but he doesn't want to take care of them so he goes play
with his friend’s dog.

I really like your take on The Turtle and The King Jataka by Ellen Babbitt! It is a creative piece that you wrote and you turned an old tale into a modern version that fits in this time period. I wrote my story over the same Jataka and it is complete different and I have the setting in the olden days with castles and kings.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeet!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your version of this story. I love that you used dogs as your animal because I love dogs and would do the same if I didn't have a dog when I was little. I am glad that the boy still had his friend's trainer dog to play with since he loves them so much. Also, I am glad he didn't get hurt too bad, but still learned his lesson!
