Doug the Dog


Doug the Dog
By Thalia Maudina and Muhammad Hilmy Hakeem
            On a bright shiny day, in the city, there was a very, very poor ugly dog, named Doug. One day, he went down the city and found a dog festival. There was a contest for the most beautiful dog in the city. He was staring at every single dog and realised that all dogs had something in common. What’s that? They all had a tail.
            “A tail? I don’t have any tail. Why? Why did I get no tail?”
            Doug asked himself. But nobody heard him, maybe, because he was the dirtiest dog there. Then, he started his journey to find his tail.
            He walked, walked, and walked again and he arrived at a laundry. He met a girl who shouted, “Mommy, look at that stupid dog!” But Doug tried to ignore it. In front of laundry, there was a trashcan. There, he met many ants. The dog asked, “Do you know where my tail is?”
            “Hmm, I am not really sure but I actually I don’t see any tail here.”
            He asked another ant, “Do you see my tail?”
            “Every dog has tail, doesn’t it?”
            “Ya, except me.”
            A fly came and laughed. The fly was making fun of the dog. “Hahaha, hahaha. There will be no tails which want to be yours. You have no tails, you have no tails.”
            And the ants followed the fly to mock Doug, “You have no tails, you have no tails.”
            “Of course I have!”
            “You have no tails, you have no tails.”
            “Stop it!”
            “You have no tails, you have no tails.”
            Doug started to cry but he was shy to cry. He was absolutely upset.
            Doug went to other garbage for asking the same question to the other ants. There, he met bread, named Brad.
            “Hey, bread, do you see my tail?”
            “Hey, how do you know my name? Even we haven’t met before.”
            “Everybody knows bread.”
            “Hmm, well, because I am so famous, you may ask a question.”
            “Really? But, actually I have asked a question several seconds ago.”
            “Really? Can you repeat it?”
            “Do you know where my tail is?”
            “No.”
            “It means you are not the ‘famous bread’. Better for me to go.”
            “Oh, wait, hmm, okay, yes.”
            “So, where do you see my tail?”
            “Hmm”
            “Answer!”
            “You have to find a mirror!”
            “Mere ore?”
            “Yup!”
            And he was looking for the “mere ore” with Brad. To thank Brad, the dog hugged the bread. He smelled a delicious smell. “Yummy!” And suddenly the dog ate the bread. There was only the bread’s mouth as the rest.
            “Wait,” the bread shouted.
            “How can I help you if you eat me? And I don’t have any eyes now.”
            “I can find it by myself.”
            Doug ate Brad’s other part. And he was alone. He went to a pet shop and met many dogs. He asked to other dogs.
            “Hey, dog, do you see mere ore?” nobody answered.
            “Hey, dog, do you see mere ore?”
            “Hey, dog, do you see mere ore?”
            He was in front of mirror and asked to a dog in front of him. “Hey, dog, do you see mere ore?” but the dog in front of him didn’t answer and just followed Doug’s movement.
            “Hey, stop following my gesture!” and he hit the mirror.
            After hitting the mirror, he decided to continue his journey. But, wait…
            “Tail, tail. Me, me. My tail. Hey! There is my tail!”
            He looked at the mirror and realised that his tail was on back part of his body. And the “mere ore” was “mirror”.
