Do Not Tease Animals

One fine day, Johnny X was walking on his way to school. He had to pass through a garden in order to reach his destination. In the garden, he saw a dog stationary near a lamp post.

He saw the dog taking a rest at a nearby lamp post. He took a stone that was brown in colour to throw on the dog. The dog barked. It started to become ferocious. He took no notice of the dog barking and fell on deaf ears.

He thought that it was fun to tease the dog. He continued to walk to school. Fortunately, a few good Samaritans saw him and reported that cruel incident to his school principal.

Johnny X had an hour-long lecture with the school principal. He entered the principal’s office with mixed feelings.

On the next day, he went on stage to receive a “special” prize. The principal caned him very severely. He received five strokes. The principal’s face turned as red as an apple.

Johnny X’s face turned as white as a sheet. His legs felt like jelly and his heart beat like a Chinese drum. He only cried for twenty seconds! Fresh tears dropped from his eyes.

His parents also caned him. He felt melancholy and remorseful. He promised not to do that again in the future.
