Carefully read the text. Then answer the proposed interpretative questions:
A beautiful breed dog, gentleman and plump, once walked away from home and went for a walk in the forest.
Got lost? Nothing! Dog doesn't get lost; it always finds its way back by the scent. It was just a walk and that was it.
It was that he went and found a wolf. A hungry, skinny wolf, tired of battling life in pursuit of ever-faster lunches when it comes to running away and less and less willing to fall into their clutches.
Seeing that dog so fresh, so well fed, he asked:
- How can you be so strong, while I live weak, always on the verge of hunger, always pursued by hunters?
– Well, the answer is easy. I have an owner.
– Owner? What is that?
– She is a wonderful person, who adores me. He always brings me the best food, gives me home, comfort, and still finds time to pat me down!
- And you do not need to walk through the forest, hunting, starvation and danger?
- Never! I live in the good-good, soft! All I have to do is lick my owner's hands and growl every time some stranger approaches our house.
- Only that? But what a good life!
– Well, do as I do! Come with me. I find a way for my owner to adopt you. You will live the best of lives, you can trust me!
Fascinated, the wolf accepted and the two went towards the house that hosted the dog with all those comforts.
Halfway there, the wolf noticed a strap around the dog's neck and asked what it was.
– Well, that's a collar. I always wear it around my neck. With it, my owner sometimes ties me to a chain...
– Attaches to a chain?!
- Yea. But what if the food is good?
The wolf stopped and shook his head at the dog:
– Well, stay there with your prison food, cousin dog. I can go through deprivation sometimes, but I prefer freedom!
And he ran back to the forest, to his life of difficulties, but with his neck free of any collar!
