TheThirstyDog, page : 2
"Why?" you may ask, well a dog is unclean and has a lot of germs
especially in its saliva, and we all know how much dogs like to lick their
owners. The Angel Gabriel told the Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him, that angels will not enter a house in which there is a dog.
This story is about being kind to animals by not harming them even when
they may be forbidden to be kept as pets.
A long time ago people didn't have running water from a faucet in their
homes like we have today. The only way to get water was to go to a well,
draw some water up in a bucket and bring it back home in either an animal
skin or a heavy clay pot.
Our story starts on a very, very hot day. There was no escape whatsoever
from the heat of the sun. Even the sand was too hot to walk on with bare
feet. Although it was such a hot day it had been necessary for a certain
man, whose name we do not know, to go out in the heat of the sun. As you
might expect, he became very thirsty indeed so when he came across a
water-well he was overjoyed.
