Seclusion

The Curse of Seclusion The emaciated dog so lonely it sought company by looking into a puddle. Afar glittering street light It had been there seeking food and shelter, but had been chased away even, by those who had lapdogs. It heard step, an old man walking slowly bent down opened a paper bag and fed the cure bread crumbs. The dog thought “apparently he thinks I´m a duck, that´s ok, I´m so hungry and lonely it will have to do.”

Jan Looking for company in a puddle reflection may break even a heart of stone. Must where "Beggars can't be choosers" come from. Sometimes it pays off - looking like a duck. katarina

I like the unusual way of mistaken a dog for a duck. A great point of view.

So very sad, many of us give crumbs, when we could give sandwiches, and many of us are grateful for the crumbs. Light & Love
