Chapter 16 peace and war

The three dogs talked while basking in the sun. The first dog said dreamily: "It is indeed wonderful to live in today's dog country. Think of the comfort and ease with which we travel in the sea, on the land, and even in the air. Think of all the things that are done for the happiness of the dogs." And the inventions that come out, there are even things for our eyes, ears, and noses." So the second dog interjected, "We care more about art than we did. We bark at the moon more rhythmically than our ancestors did. When we look at ourselves in the water, we see our features better than dogs of old. My son's face is clearer."

Then the third dog said: "However, what interests me most, and which pleases my soul, is the peaceful mutual understanding that exists among the dog nations." At this moment, they opened their eyes and saw, ah, the dog catcher was approaching. The three dogs sprang up, and ran away into the street; and as they ran, the third dog said, "For God's sake, run for your life."Civilization is after us miles. " Peace And War Three dogs were basking in the sun and conversing. The first dog said dreamily, "It is indeed wondrous to be living in this day of dogdom. Consider the ease with which we travel under the sea, upon the earth and even in the sky. And meditate for a moment upon the inventions brought forth for the comfort of dogs, even for our eyes and ears and noses."

And the second dog spoke and he said, "We are more heedful of the arts. We bark at the moon more rhythmically than did our forefathers. And when we gaze at ourselves in the water we see that our features are clearer than the features of yesterday." Then the third dog spoke and said, "But what interests me most and beguiles my mind is the tranquil understanding existing between dogdoms." At that very moment they looked, and lo, the dog-catcher was approaching. The three dogs sprang up and scampered down the street; and as they ran the third dog said, "For Gods sake, run for your lives. Civilization is after us."
