SO THIS  STORY  IS OF MY CHILDHOOD , I USED TO HAVE A UNCLE WHO WAS A LOT NOTORIOUS IN NATURE .

HE WAS JUST A NORMAL MAN WO HAS BEEN RETIRED FROM HIS WORK AND NOW ROAMS HERE AND THERE CAUSING MISCHEIFS ,PLAYING WITH KIDS 

I WAS 8 YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME IT WAS MINE FIRST INTERACTION WITH HIM 

I WAS PLAYING FOOTBALL WITH MY FRIENDS IN THE PLAYGROUND AND THE BALL WENT OUTSIDE AS I KICKED IT SO I HAVE TO BRING IT BACK , WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE I SAW UNCLE PLAYING WITH THW BALL I ASKED HIM TO GIVE IT BACK AS IT’S OUR TO WHICH HE SAID LE ME ALSO PLAY WITH YOU ALL THEN ONLY I WILL RETURN IT 

I TOLD MY OTHER FRIENDS ABOUYT IT SO THEY SAID OKAY LETS PALY ALL TOGETHER WE HAD A GOOD BONDING WITH UNCLE AFTER PLAYING FOR HOURS WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME FOR LUNCH SO WE WRAPPED UP AND STARTED MOVING TOWARDS OUR HOME WITH UNCLE ALSO WITH US 

AS WE CAME OUTSIDE THE GROUND A DOG WAS SITTING AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE GROUND BECAUSE OF WHICH SOME OF MY FRIENDS PANICKED AS BEING AFRAID OF DOG SO UNCLE TOOK THE FRONT FOOT AND TOOK ALL OF US 

BUT UNCLE BEING UNCLE HE GOT A MISCHEIF AND ASKED US 

‘’TELL ME HOW YOUR MUMMA LAUGHS ?‘’

SO WE SHOWED HIM DOING GESTURES AFTER WHICH HE ASKS

‘’TELL ME HOW YOUR PAPA LAUGHS?’’

AGAIN WE SHOWED HIM LIKE THIS LIKE THIS.

NOW HE ASKS ‘’DO YOU KNOW HOW A DOG LAUGHS?’’

WE RPLIED HOW CAN A DOG LAUGH HE IS NOT A HUMAN ONLY HUMANS CAN LAUGH TO WHICH HE TELLS NO GUYS DOGS ALSO LAUGH I KNOW 

WE ASKED HIN HOW DOES HE KNOWS THIS SO HE RPLIES THAT I HAVE SEEN IT ;IN CUROSITY WE ASKED WHEN WHERE HOW ?

GIVING US A MISCHEVIOUS LOOK HE ASKED ‘’DO YOU ALL WANT TO SEE’’

AND WE SAID YES 

SO HE INSTRUCTED US TO FOLLOW HIM AND BE A BIT IN DISTANCE WITH HIM ; AS HE COMMANDED WE FOLLOWED HIM 

HE FIRST THREW A PEBBLE TO THE DOG THAT WAS OUTSIDE THE PLAYGROUND ;THAT HORRIFIED EVERYONE WHEN THE DOG CAME TOWARDS US TO ATTACK 

UNCLE TOLD US TO RUN AND HE IS BEHIND US SO SHOULD NOT WORRY HE WILL SAVE US 

WE DID AS HE COMMANDED 

ALL THE KIDS ALONG WITH ME RAN WITH UNCLE IN THE LAST IN FRONT OF THE DOG AND THE DOG FOLLOWED US ANGRILY WE RAN FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTER THEN TO OTHER THEN AFTER REACHING THE LANE OF THE UNCLE’S HOUSE HE TOLD US TO GO INSIDE AND CALL HIS GRAND SON 

WE DID THE SAME AND UNCLE WAS OUTSIDE WITH THE DOG FOLLOWING HIM IN ANGER 

AS WE TOLD HIS GRAND SON ABOUT EVERYTHING HE TOOK US TO THE TERRACE AND SAID DADAJI  WILL SHOW YOU HOW A DOG LAUGH DADAJI ASKED YOU ALL NA THAT’S WHY HE TOOK YOU HERE AND SENT TO ME SO THAT YOU ALL CAN ENJOY DOG’S LAUGH FROM HIS TERRACE .

AS WE RECHED TE TERRACE WITH HIS GRANDSON WE FOUND THAT NOW THE DOG WAS IN FRONT AND UNCLE WAS BEHIND AND NOW THE DOG WAS RUNNING TO SAVE HIMSELF AS THEY ENTERD THE LANE WITH DOG IN FRONT AND UNCLE AT BACK WE WERE TENSED WHAT WILL HAPPWN IT SHOULD NOT BITE UNCLE 

NOW THE DOG STOPPED AS THE LANE WAS CLOSE THERE WERE  HOUSES ALL AROUND , NO WAY THE DOG CAN ESCAPE 

UNCLE AND DOG BOTH STOPPED AND STARED GIVING EACH OTHER A SERIOUS LOOK ; NOW UNCLE STARTED MOVING SLOWLY TOWARDS THE DOG TO WHICH DOG REACTED BY GIVING A GRIN WITH HIS GROANING VOICE 

THE DOG CLENCHED HIS TEETHS IN ANGER WITH BOTH OF HIS EYES BULGING OUTSIDE AND GROANING TOWARDS UNCLE TO WHICH UNCLE ASKED US LOUDLY ‘’DID YOU SE THE DOG LAUGHED ; SHE DOG IS LAUGHING ‘’

THE DOG RESTED FOR SOMETINE TILL WHEN UNCLE WAS TALIKNG TO US AFTER WHICH HE SAID LET ME SHOW YOU ALL AGAIN HE AGAIN TOOK A STEP TOWARDS THE DOG ABD IT GAVE THE SAME EXPRESSION OF GRINNING 

AGAIN UNCLE ASKED HAVE WE SEEN DOG IS LAUGHING 

WE WERE CONFUSED WHAT IS HAPPENING TO WHICH HIS GRANDSON TOLD THAT THE EXPRESSION THAT THE DOG IS GIVING DADAJI IS REFFERING IT AS DOG LAUGH 

THEN HE CALLED US DOWNSTAIRS ; HIS GRANDSON BROUGHT TREATS FOR THE DOG AND WE ALL FED HIM ;UNCLE HELPED US BE FRIEND WITH THE DOG HE ALSO MADE US UNDERSTAND THAT THE DOG IS ALSO A GOOD CREATURE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO BE AFRAID OF A DOG THEY ARE ALSO LOVEABLE .

THEY BARK AND GROAN AT YOU BECAUSE THEY SEE ALL HUMANS AS THEIR THREATS BECAUSE WE GIVE THEM SUCH LOOKS ; IF WE WILL GIVE THEM LOVE THEY WILL ALSO GIVE US LOVE .

I HOPE YOU LIKED MY STORY AND NO DOG OR ANIMAL IS HARMED IT’S JUST UNCLE’S WAY OF EXPALINING THINGS .
