down the mountain and climb up again.
The village people at the foot of the

Everytime he’d feel lonely, the old

something down the mountain that can
amuse him.
Fetch
Becky Bravo (Adapted)
30. First, Fetch got him a banduria. “Master,” said the dog. “Here is a
gift from the man whose house is full of music.” When the old
man became lonely again, Fetch got him something from the
village. Next, Fetch went down the mountain and when he came
back, he brought a sungka. “Master, here is a gift from the man
whose house is full of playthings,” Fetch said. The next things he
brought from the village for the old man were a pet monkey, a
parrot, and a music box which he said were also gifts from
different people. One day, however, the old man needed
something else that would amuse him.
Fetch hurriedly went down the mountain from the east side
to west side and around and back again just to find one last thing
that could amuse his master. Fetch talked to the village people so
the people went up the mountain and soon decided to build their
houses around the old man’s house. The old man was very happy.
He thanked his dog Fetch, saying, “You have served me well. You
have fetched me the village. I am pleased.”
