The Chestnut

Once upon a time there lived a brown dog. He was very unhappy, because he felt like a chestnut. All the dogs in the neighborhood called him so, a chestnut.

Poor doggy; he decided to climb a chestnut tree. If he is a chestnut, he would live with chestnuts. Chestnuts would be his friends. No one will make fun of him any more.

When the dog climbed the tree, the chestnuts asked him:
“Hey dog, what are you doing here?”

The dog was very surprised: “These chestnuts think I am a dog. They know it better who I am.”

And he climbed down quietly.
