The Second old man tale with the two dog’s stories
Un God-like demon, my story is far more disturbing than the one you have heard already. All men are made from God and even a Demon like you will weep. These two dogs are my mother and father a curse that can never be broken or undone. I will sacrifice my life to turn them back to humans. We grew up in in a house, my parents built from scratch. My father a herdsman to provide for me. I was spoiled rotten by my parents, even though they did not have much, my father has given me more, that I feel like a King. My mother pregnant with another child, I said mother how can you bring another child into this world, when all you have is enough for me. Selfishly as I was, cursed my mother and ran away.
I ran into the field at night, and continued to run, my mother wept for my return, and my father tried to console my mother to not cry anymore. “Ugh my only son, ran off into the fields, All mighty God please bring the Sun up sooner as there are many dangers lurking into the fields”. I continued to run until I reached a hut, smell of blueberry pie coming from the Window, a woman and a man opened the door and they welcomed me. As soon I stepped in the home, I should have known it was a trap. The moment I went through the doors I felt at home as if they were my family, the feeling was so vivid, that I knew it wasn’t right but I continued. I ate their food and it was cursed with a spell, meant for a young son, who betrays his family for another, and if after he eats the cursed food and fell into the bed and the woman tells him the story of his fate and drifts off as he did. Parents will turn into dogs.
The next day I woke up and my stomach had a nerve wrecking pain, the woman fed me soup, bathed me and put me back to rest. For days and days, I have been feeling ill, I told the woman and Man, it is time that I return home and apologize to my parents for leaving them. The woman sent me off because she had known what she had already done. When I got home, I seen two dogs on the floor in front of my parent’s beds. The woman dog had giving birth, as there was blood everywhere and little bones. The father dog is crying. The woman who had cursed my family came to the door and bought me dog food and rituals for a burial and said “You betrayed your family, and your unborn sister was mauled by your father because they had no food and trapped in the house as you ran off to another families’ home, this is your punishment. Live with it”. The old men and the Demon started hugging and weeping, that the world can be so cruel, even to a child, who did not know better.
