NAME:

the dog and the fleas

Nanu is an old dog. Its fur has been inhabited by three fleas for a long time: Luisa, Lisa and Lili. On and on, he scratches himself, trying in vain to expel unwanted ones.
When he stretches out in the sun, on the fresh grass, Luisa, Lisa and Lili get agitated.
– Isn't that dog a bit finished? – says Luisa.
- What? You live in my fur, my flea, and you won't let me sleep! - Nanu mumbles.

– I'm sorry, but I'm a flea and I live on dogs!
At the same moment, the owner of Nanu approaches:
– This dog must have fleas – he says – comes Nanu, for the bath!
But Nanu runs away.
