 The Guilty Dogs

  • A king drove the city in his magnificent chariot, but at the end of the night, the chariot was left in the courtyard with the harnesses
  • It started to rain during the night; therefore the palace dogs wanted to have some fun, so they chewed up the leather harnesses and slipped away before the dawn
  • The king found out about his harnesses and his men told him the straps were chewed up by the dogs
  • The king commanded them to kill every dog they see in the city
  • The dogs heard about the kings order and cried bitterly because the innocent ones did not have anything to do with this
  • The chief dog of the pack asked why they were all sad because it is impossible for any dog of the city to enter the palace gates besides the dogs of the palace
  • The chief dog stepped up by going out to find out guilty one to show to the king to protect the innocent dogs from getting killed
  • The chief dog went along through the city and at every step, men were standing ready to kill him, but his eyes were so full of love that they did not dare touch him
  • He walked into the palace, and the royals guards, spellbound at this appearance, let him pass through the gates
  • The chief dog entered into the hall of justice where the king sat on his throne
  • The chief dog asked the king if he commanded that all the dogs of the city by killed. the king said yes
  • Then the dog asked what harm have they done
  • Then the king replied they destroyed the leather harnesses of the royal chariot
  • Then he asked which dogs have done the harm. the king replied i know not, so all of them is going to get kill
  • the dog asked is every dog of your city to be killed or is some dogs allowed to live
  • the king replied only the royal dogs are to be allowed to live
  • then the chief asked if his command is just because there are innocent dogs out there

Hello everyone, my name is Tracy! My major is chemical bioscience with a minor in psychology and concentration in pre-PA. I know... it sounds tough and people are always shocked when I tell them, but it is honestly not that bad! Yes... there are times where I am drowning in the schoolwork, but overall, I like the classes I have to take for this major. Well, except Human Anatomy. That class has got to be the hardest class on campus. I believe it is harder than organic chemistry! Don't believe it? Take it and see for yourself. Just kidding, don't suffer like I did. Personal picture of this view in Baltimore; photo from May 2019. School is in session again and I am glad to be back, but at the same time, I am not. I'm missing summer a little extra this year because I had so much free time to travel and see people I couldn't see during the school year. This summer, I traveled to Baltimore for a convention with my sorority, took numerous trips to different parts of Tex

Louise did not notice this until a few days later, but when she did, she did not bother to tell her best friend, Linda. The next summer rolls around... Linda knocked on Louise's door and said, "Bestie, I am back for the summer!" Louise came running to the door as soon as she heard Linda's voice.  "I am coming, Linda! I will be right there,"
