Filbert Gets His Wish

Filbert Crumb..... Gets His Wish! A sad little man was Filbert Crumb....as he sat on the bus. " Another lonelyday" He thought to himself.  Looking up, Filbert saw a little dog.  Neatly tucked into a little girls backpack.  Its' head was peaking out and smiled at Filbert.   "See, even a dog has a better life than me"... "I wish I was that little dog". Filbert reached out to pet the pooch in the backpack and was surprised when the little dog happily licked at his fingers. “Hi there little doggie, How are you?” And then the strangest thing happened. The little dog replied back! “I am wonderful..” “Did you just speak to me?” whispered Filbert to the little dog. “Yep...Yep...Yep...I did!” said the little dog. “But how is that possible?” asked Filbert. “I really don't know, I am just as surprised as you are.” said the little dog. “Are you happy being a little dog?” asked filbert. “Oh yes, it's wonderful. I have a nice home, good food and toys to play with”. “I wish I were a dog.” “Oh, you can be. It's really very simple to do.” Said the little dog with a wink..... “All you have to do is this.... “Jump Up and Down on just one leg... and spin yourself a round.... around and round...... and spin yourself around”.... Sang the little dog. .“Really! Is that all?” said Sad Filbert. Yep...Yep...Yep....said the little dog.
