The Dog and the Crow

Once there was a dog and a crow. The dog lived ina woodshed with his owner, Klouse. He treated the dog very badly. He never fed the dog but if he did it would probably be little scraps of old meat. But one day Klouse beat the dog horribly and threw him out of his so called house in the mid of winter.

After a couple of days the dog came across a crow. The crow said "Dear brother dog, why are you out in this cold weather?" The shivering dog answered back "m-m-m-my owner K-Klouse threw me out after beating me." Maybe about forty- six seconds later, the tattered crow said "brother dog come with me" As the dog walked with his ripped up tail down, and the crow flew with her feathers blowing in the wind, she saw a awfully big diner. The crow flew in to the diner very quickly and came back with a half eaten piece of steak that she stole from a farmer who was terribly fat. The monstrous farmer was I'd say six ft. and seven inches tall and two ft. wide. "Is that enough steak?" asked the crow. "Yes, I just need some water." Replied the dog. They went on looking for a place that had water. Then they came upon a fountain for the horses that guards rode on. "Brother dog go drink." said the crow. The thirsty dog went over and started to chug, and chug, and chug the fresh clear water down.

After he nearly drank all the water in the enormous fountain they went off to go find the satisfied dog a shelter. They looked for hours but couldn't find any. As five O'clock made it's way in the dog fell asleep on a grassy road.
Soon the same farmer that the crow took the half eaten steak from came up in his wagon that two of his farm horses pulled, and muttered quietly to himself "I'll get that shabby bastard!"

So the farmer cracked his whip on the horses back and made them run over the dog. The dog died. "You have killed brother dog, farmer!" yelled the crow. "Now you will be a helpless man." The farmer did not believe her a just kept Going

The crow flew quickly on to the farmer's head and ripped out all his hair. "A helpless man I am." said the farmer sadly. "Not helpless enough." replied the crow. The crow pecked out the man's eye. It fell on the ground and the wagon made it in to cottage cheese. "Indeed I am a helpless man." cried the farmer. "Not helpless enough!" shouted the tattered crow again. The crow flew on top of one of the horse head. Then the fat bastard took out his knife and threw it at the crow. But the clever bird jumped to the other horses head; there for the knife gouged in to the horses head. Then the horse fell down and brought the other one with him. "A very poor man I am." cried the farmer again. "Not poor enough!" yelled the black bird one last time and crawled in to his mouth and down his throat, then bit a piece of his heart off.
