Tit For Tat

There was a jungle by the side of a village. A stray dog of the village gave birth to three pups in that jungle. One day on her way to hunt in the jungle she saw a baby wild dog abandoned under a tree. Taking pity she took the baby and reared him with her own pups. All four grew up together. They learned to hunt and live by themselves. One day the wild dog became greedy after seeing the three healthy young puppies. He told one of them, "Last night I saw a dream where I was eating you. So, to make my dream true I will eat you today." The young puppy replied, "You can if you want to make your dream true. But before that, you will have to ask three creatures whether dreams come true or not. If they say yes I myself will offer my head." The dog will agree. They first went to a goat. They asked, "Can a dream come true?" After thinking for a while, the goat replied, "Yes it can. " The wild dog was very happy. The next day, went to the riverbank to meet the heron. The wild dog asked the same question. The heron replied, "Sometimes yes, sometimes no." Finally, they went to a bear. The wild dog asked, "Please tell us whether a dream can be true or not."The bear listened to the story behind this question and then he thought to himself, 'This wild dog is greedy and ungrateful. He needs to be taught a lesson. 'The bear was silent for a while. Impatient the wild dog urged, "I am asking you whether a dream can be true or not. " 

The bear shot back " Yes it can. Last night I saw in my dream that I was dasing you to death. Thank God you yourself have come here. "

Hearing this, the wild dog jumped away and ran hard not daring to look back.
