Once upon a
time, a little
girl called
Denise had a dog
called Lucky.
She loves to go
for walks
everyday. Her
dog Lucky is
always going
with her, but
there is
something you
need to know
about Denise:
she doesn’t know
how to respect
others.
When the little
dog comes closer
and barks at her
because the
animal is really
happy to see
her, Denise
pushes him away.
Sometimes she
sat down feeling
quite sad and
lonely. Lucky
would then come
by licking her
hand with
kindness. Denise
would then kick
him with anger.
Her mom was
always trying to
give her good
advice, teaching
her that all
animals were
created by God.
We should love
and respect one
another. She
would also say
we should not do
to others what
we would not
like done to us,
as Jesus
|
|
taught.
Denise
never
listened
to her
mom; she
would
then
say: |
– I do what I
want! No one
tells me what to
do!
Lucky didn’t
seem to bother
with her bad
attitude. He
would always
come closer to
her,
demonstrating
his loyalty.
One day Denise
walked away from
home. She
realised, after
a few moments,
she was close to
a highway. She
looked around
and saw a toy
store which was
located on the
other side of
the road. There
were some
beautiful toys
displayed
there.
Denise didn’t
think twice. She
crossed the
street without
looking around.
She suddenly
felt her dog
jumping over
her. She then
felt into the
pavement.
The little girl
turned around as
she wanted to
shout at Lucky.
She then saw her
dog standing at
the pavement, as
if he was dead.
She then
realised what
happened. There
was a car
driving close
by, really fast.
Lucky sensed
danger and tried
to save her
life, risking
your own.
The car driver
stopped near by,
feeling quite
disturbed. He
wasn’t expecting
someone to jump
in front of his
car and felt
quite distressed
about it. Other
people stopped
to see what just
happened.
– Are you hurt?
– the driver
asked, quite
worried.
– No. I am fine.
– Denise
answered
quietly.
|
He then looked
at Lucky and
said:
– You own your
life to this
brave little
dog.
– Lucky! Lucky!
– Denise cried,
quite
desperately.
The driver felt
so moved with
the girl’s
attitude. He
decided to come
closer to the
dog and examine
him.
– He is not
dead. Thanks
God! He was hit
by the
|
car, but
it’s
nothing
serious.
Let’s
take him
to the
vet.
Denise carried
him with
kindness. As
soon as she held
him, Lucky
opened his eyes.
It then licked
her hand, with a
kind gesture.
Denise then
said:
– Forgive me,
Lucky, please! I
will never hit
you again. I
promise I will
be a good girl
from now
onwards.

The
little
dog
barked,
full of
happiness.
He knew
deep
down his
life
would be
different
from now
onwards.
