Stories and all! The dog and the Priest




Stories and all! The dog and the Priest




In a certain village lived a holy priest. He was loved and revered by all and sundry. One could see him go around the village from early in the morning to late evening curing people, explaining the word of God and blessing one and all. Everyone felt blessed having him around in their village.

In the same village was a mad dog. No one liked it. Everyone put stones at it. It kept barking and moving around the village on its own. It didn’t bother about anyone.



It was a mad dog. It kept to itself.

But one day for no reason or rhyme that mad dog bite the priest. They shooed the dog and sent it away after hurting it with stones, pelts and sticks. The poor priest was taken to the hospital. Everyone in the village prayed for his recovery and well-being. He survived and he was brought to the village.

There, they found the dog dead. From that day, the priest hung his head down always in shame.



All said “Thank God our priest is safe and that mad dog died”. But the priest knew what happened and he felt ashamed!

(PS : like always contemplate on these stories and come back with your feedback...)
