Dog Tired

One day, an old tired dog wandered into Noah’s yard. The dog didn’t look hungry or sick, just very tired.

Noah gave the dog a few pats on the head. The dog followed Noah into the house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, the dog woke up, walked to the door, and Noah let him out.

The next day the dog was back. Once again the dog followed Noah into the house and slept in the corner for an hour. It was the same story the next day, and the next, and the next one after that.

Noah was very curious. “What’s up with this dog?” he wondered. He had an idea.

Noah pinned a note to the dog’s collar:
To the owner of this dog,
Do you know that your dog comes to my house every afternoon and has a nap? Why? .....Noah

The next day the dog came to Noah’s house with a new note pinned to its collar:
He lives in a home with 6 children, 3 under the age of 2. He's trying to catch up on his sleep. He can’t find a quiet spot here. Neither can I! Can I come with him tomorrow?

And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
