    The little boy was very weary
    He had wandered a long way
    He could not find the pathway home
    He lay down and wept
    He was weeping a long time
    He heard the barking of a dog
    It was his own dog
    He was save.
    The little boy who had wandered a long way was very weary being unable to find his pathway home lay down and wept a long time until he heard the barking of his own dog which told him he was save.
    The longer it lives the shorter it grows
    A candle.
