Read and Learn

There was an old man who lived at the top of a very high mountain. He had no one with him but his dog named “Fetch.”

Since he was very old, and his knees often wobbled, he could not go down the mountain and climb up again. The village people at the foot of the mountain were also too busy to be able to see the old man at the mountain top.

Everytime he’d feel lonely, the old man would call Fetch and let him get something down the mountain that can amuse him.

Fetch

Becky Bravo (Adapted)

First, Fetch got him a banduria. “Master,” said the dog. “Here is a gift from the man whose house is full of music.” When the old man became lonely again, Fetch got him something from the village. Next, Fetch went down the mountain and when he came back, he brought a sungka. “Master, here is a gift from the man whose house is full of playthings,” Fetch said. The next things he brought from the village for the old man were a pet monkey, a parrot, and a music box which he said were also gifts from different people. One day, however, the old man needed something else that would amuse him.

Fetch hurriedly went down the mountain from the east side to west side and around and back again just to find one last thing that could amuse his master. Fetch talked to the village people so the people went up the mountain and soon decided to build their houses around the old man’s house. The old man was very happy. He thanked his dog Fetch, saying, “You have served me well. You have fetched me the village. I am pleased.”
