The Faithful Dog
This story is set in Wales in the Middle Ages. There was a prince whose name was Llewellyn. He lived in the valley. He had a baby son. He also had a dog called Gelert. One day the prince went hunting. He left the dog to look after the baby. Soon some wolves came out of a wood. They ran to the cottage. The dog saw the wolves and hid the baby. Then he ran outside and bravely fought the wolves. He killed two but was wounded. He was tired and lay down to sleep. When the prince returned, he saw his dog all in blood. He noticed that his son's bed was empty. He took his sword and killed the dog while it was sleeping. Then he heard the baby cry and found him behind the bed. Through the window the prince saw the two dead wolves. Then he understood everything. He carried Gelert to the top of a hill and buried him. He collected a lot of stones to mark the grave. You can still see it today.
