Lesson 2. How the Dog Found Himself a New Master!
Short Summary
        "How the Dog Found Himself a Master!" is a
folktale that recounts the journey of a dog in search of the strongest and most
reliable master. Initially, dogs were free and roamed without a master.
However, one dog, tired of living in fear and seeking protection, decided to
find the mightiest being to serve. He first chose a wolf as his master but left
when he realized the wolf feared the bear. The dog then served the bear until
the bear fled from the lion. Convinced that the lion was the strongest, the dog
served him until he noticed that even the lion feared humans. Ultimately, the
dog found his place with humans, recognizing them as the most powerful and
dependable masters. This tale explains why dogs became loyal companions to
humans.
Working With the Text
A. Discuss these
questions in pairs before you write the answers.
Question
1. Why did the dog feel the need for a master?
Answer: The dog felt the need for a master because he was tired of wandering alone, living in fear, and constantly searching for food. He wanted to find a strong and reliable protector who could provide security and stability, allowing him to live a more comfortable and carefree life. The dog's desire for a master was driven by his wish to avoid danger and ensure a safer existence.
Question 2. Who did he
first choose as his master? Why did he leave that master?
Answer:
The dog first chose a wolf as his master because he believed the wolf was
strong and fierce. However, he left the wolf when he saw that the wolf was
afraid of the bear. Realizing that the wolf was not the strongest, the dog
decided to find a more powerful and fearless master.
Question 3. Who did he
choose next?
Answer:
After leaving the wolf, the dog chose the bear as his next master. He believed
the bear to be stronger and more powerful. However, the dog left the bear when
he saw that the bear was afraid of the lion, prompting him to seek out the lion
as his new master.
Question 4. Why did he
serve the Lion for a longtime?
Answer:
The dog served the lion for a long time because he believed the lion was the
strongest and most powerful animal in the forest. The lion was feared by all
other animals, and the dog felt safe and protected under his rule. It was only
when the dog realized that even the lion was afraid of humans that he decided
to leave and serve humans, recognizing them as the most powerful and dependable
masters.
Question 5. Who did he
finally choose as his master and why?
Answer:
The dog finally chose humans as his master. He made this decision after
observing that even the lion, whom he thought to be the strongest, was afraid
of humans. Recognizing that humans were the most powerful and capable of
providing the protection and stability he sought, the dog decided to serve
them, leading to the long-standing relationship between dogs and humans.
