The Faithful Dog

A dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to attend to other matters.
She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him.
One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful dog and went out shopping, When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene, there was a total mess.
The baby's cot was dismantled, his nappies and clothes torn to shredss with blood stains all over the bedroom where she left the baby and the dog.
Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby.
All of the sudden, she saw the faithful dog emerging from under the bed.
It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as if it had just finished a delicous meal.
The woman got angry and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby.
Without much thought she beat the dog with a wood to death.
But as she continued searchinng for the "remains" of her child, she beheld close to the bed was the baby who, although lying on the bare floor, was safe and under the bed where the body of a snake.
The snake was torn to pieces in what had been a fierce battle between the snake and the dog which was now dead.
Then the reality dawned on the woman who now begins to understand what took place in her absence.
The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous snake.
It was too late for her now to make amends because, in her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog.
How often have we misjudged people and tornn them with harsh words and deeds before we have had time to evaluate
the situation?
Some minor communication... a drastically reduce major lifelong mistakes.
Don't think/react on what you think other are thinking.
Take time to get the whole truth.
Think 100 times before you do something.....
