One day, a person went to open the door when the door bell rang loudly. He greeted a friend whom he had not seen for a long time. So, he invited him in. There was also a very big dog standing beside his friend. Oh! Very big and very dirty as it was a rainy day! The dog's four feet were full of mud. Since the dog was standing beside his friend, the man could not do anything! Besides, he had not seen this friend for a long time. So when he saw the dog follow his friend inside the house, he did not feel comfortable about saying anything. Actually, he himself did not like dogs, especially such a big, dirty dog.

After going into the house, the dog saw the man's beautiful bed and jumped onto it to have a nap. Oh! The man could not bear it! Really could not! But, there was nothing he could do. At the end, when he bid farewell to his friend, the dog was still lying there and did not want to go. Finally, he could not bear it and said: "Why don't you take your dog? It has already dirtied my bed, isn't that enough?"

But the friend said: "Ha? I thought it was yours!"
