The Lonely Puppy

There was once a puppy named Prince. He was proud (when I say proud I mean bad proud, in other words, a show off). He was also selfish and self-centered. He thought that he was the smartest, cutest, cuddliest puppy in the world. He even said he was better than his parents. Hardly anyone liked him, but that is not what he thinks. He finds it impossible for anyone to hate him.

One day he went to the park. He saw that the other puppies were playing with each other; so he asked if he could play. One puppy said, “Why don’t you just leave us alone since you think you are the best. You don’t belong here.”

“Well, it is not my fault that I’m better than all of you, considering you all have filthy low-lives,” said Prince.

The other puppies were shocked and started barking at him. He got so scared that he left them alone. He could not believe they actually hated him.

Then, a puppy approached him and said that he would play with him. He looked at the puppy and was disgusted because the puppy was dirty. Prince said that he would never play with anyone like him. So, the puppy backed away.

After twenty minutes, he saw that the dirty puppy he shooed away was playing with the other puppies. When he saw what was happening, he realized that it wasn’t how good you looked on the outside that was important; it was how good you are on the inside. He also realized that he is not better than anyone because everyone is created equally.

From that day on, he changed. He never looked or treated anyone differently. He also did not think of himself as the best, and everyone started to like him.
