Botir’s dog was bad. It frequently bit people. It was not an appropriate way for a dog. His friends always expected the dog to bite them. The news about Botir’s dog spread through the village. None of the people wanted to go to Botir’s house. Botir concerned about it. Botir tried to train the dog, but it never worked. He tried to be patient and teach the dog to be calm. That also didn’t work. Botir didn’t want to punish the dog. One day Botir’s friend came to talk to him about the issue. During their meeting, his friend said, “ The people in the village asked me to represent them. We want your dog to stop this habit. Why don’t you put a bell around the dog’s neck? This way, we would hear your dog coming down the street.” Botir thought that it was a great idea. Now, people could stay away from the dog. It wouldn’t be able to bite anyone anymore. The dog liked the bell, too. People thought the dog was coming when they heard its bell.
