A man was sitting in the park watching the ducks on the pond， when a woman came near him．She had a white dog with her．

    She sat down on a chair， took out of a magazine and began to read．

    The dog was sitting between her and the man．

    After it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes， the dog turned and looked up at the man．

    " Excuse me，" the dog whispered（低语），" but you look like a kind man． Please buy me from this awful woman．"

    The man could hardly believe his ears． A dog was whispering to him， in English．

" She is so mean to me，" the dog continued． "She never pets me or plays with me． She doesn't feed me properly and she often beats me when she is unhappy， which is most of the time．"

    The man was amazed to hear the dog say all this．He was even more surprised when the dog added， "And I am really a very good dog． I'm quite famous， too． I won a medal in the last war and was twice wounded in action． I've saved three children﹣two from drowning and one from a fire．"

    The man decided that he would try to buy the dog from the woman． He would pay a lot of money if necessary． The dog would soon earn tens of thousands of dollars on television． It would be the world's first talking dog．

    " Excuse me，" he said to the woman，" but I love your little dog． Will you sell him to me？"

    "I'll be pleased to sell him， " the woman said． " You can have him for ten dollars．

    " Ten dollars!" the man said． " Only ten dollars？ Why so little？ "

    " Because，" the woman said， " he' s a trouble﹣ making liar（说谎者）．"
