The truth-talking dog
A man had built great wealth, touring the globe with a truth-talking dog.
A friendly local thought this was too good to be true and paid the $50 entry fee to see for himself.
As he entered, the dog started immediately:
“Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon”
“The square root of nine is three”
“France is in Europe”
The man couldn’t believe his eyes or ears as the dog kept speaking truthful phrases late into the night.
Finally, the dog curled up in the corner and went to sleep, tired from all the speaking.
The local man said to the owner: “a speaking dog is one thing, but a speaking dog that always tells the truth, it’s no wonder you’re making a fortune!”
Just as he finished his sentence, he started to hear a murmur in the corner where the dog was napping.
The dog was still muttering phrases in its sleep! The local man got closer and listened carefully
As the dog was napping, the man could hear it speaking under its breath:
“2 + 2 is 5”
“I’m a pink pussy cat”
“triangles have 4 sides”
The local man turned to the owner in absolute shock, the jig was up!
Only to see the owner holding out an offer of $5,000 in cash and said:
“Why don’t we just let sleeping dogs lie?”
