                                    Why did the master throw the dog out?Whee did the friends want to go?The donkey walked along the road slowly, feeling very sad. On the way, he saw a dog lying by the roadside and whining.%u201cWhy are you crying?%u201d the donkey asked.The dog said, %u201cI am now too old to guard the house. So my master no longer needs me. He has thrown me out of the house.%u201d%u201cSad indeed!%u201d said the donkey. %u201cWhy don%u2019t you come along with me?%u201d %u201cBut where do we go?%u201d asked the dog.%u201cWell, I have heard of a town called Bremen. It is a great place for musicians. Perhaps we could go there and try our luck,%u201d the donkey said.%u201cI think it is a good idea,%u201d said the dog. %u201cLet%u2019s go right away.%u201d So, the donkey and the dog set off to Bremen. They were walking away happily when they saw a cat curled up under a fence.%u201cWhat is wrong with you?%u201d asked the donkey.%u201cWhen I was young I kept my master%u2019s house free from mice. Now I have grown old and cannot run to catch mice. So my master has shown me the door, %u201d replied the cat sadly.%u201cWe are going to Bremen. Would you like to join us?%u201d said the dog.The cat agreed to go with them. The three animals were passing by a farmyard when they saw a rooster sitting on the barn door, crowing loudly.%u201cNow what makes you crow so loudly?%u201d the donkey asked.Arrow-Puffin-4_Semester-1 English 27
