Told by Peter York.[1](1/ "tree and pragmatics")

In the old days people used to have faith in their dogs.[2](2/ "tree and pragmatics") One time a man had a very small, little dog.[3](3/ "tree and pragmatics") When he went out hunting he put the little dog inside of his coat.[4](4/ "tree and pragmatics") Every time the little dog tried to bark the man knew that there was some game near.[5](5/ "tree and pragmatics")

One night while the man was asleep the little dog licked him on the face till he woke up, which went to show that there was trouble at hand.[6](6/ "tree and pragmatics") The little dog tried to take his master outside the camp.[7](7/ "tree and pragmatics") They both went out and the little dog began to roll in the snow.[8](8/ "tree and pragmatics") Every time he rolled he grew bigger.[9](9/ "tree and pragmatics") He rolled till he got to be as big as a good-sized calf, then he stopped and watched the lake.[10](10/ "tree and pragmatics") They saw a great, big dog coming across the ice to kill the man.[11](11/ "tree and pragmatics") The man’s dog went out to meet this one and conquered it.[12](12/ "tree and pragmatics") This big dog was a grey-looking one with no hair.[13](13/ "tree and pragmatics")

NO. 20.[14](14/ "tree and pragmatics")
