Christina often had to stay alone at night, as her parents worked late. But she had a dog to keep her company. One night, Christina woke up hearing a dripping sound. She went to the kitchen to turn off the tap properly. When she got back, she stuck her hand under the bed, and her dog licked it. But the dripping continued… Christina then turned off the taps in the bathroom. She stuck her hand under the bed, and her dog licked it again. But the dripping continued… Christina turned off all the taps in the house. Then, she stuck her hand under the bed and her dog licked it. But the dripping continued… Guessing that it was coming from her cupboard, she opened the door and found her dog in there! Written on the inside of the door was, “Humans can lick, too!” She took her dog and ran to her neighbour’s house and stayed there till her parents returned.
