3. Fuffy was a female black dog, who gave birth to eight pretty puppies.

5. But, one night, as she was sleeping, her eight little puppies just disappeared. She was desperate. She started going around, all through the town, looking everywhere, day and night. Her eyes were full of tears as she was calling them and she imagined that they were calling her, too.

6. She was looking to the left, she was looking to the right, nothing…

7. On the third day, exhausted, she found herself in a park and lay back, under a bench, to have a rest. She had a nap and in her dream she saw her little puppies, all sitting onto her tummy and sucking.

9. She felt so relieved and happy
She felt so relieved and happy. But when she opened her eyes, what was that? Eight skinny puppies, which didn’t resemble her little puppies at all, were sucking greedily at her breast.

11. She stood up. They stood up, too
She stood up. They stood up, too. She started to leave and they followed her.

13. Go to your mummy, she shouted angrily. I don’t like you
Go to your mummy, she shouted angrily. I don’t like you. You are so different from my own little puppies. You are not black, you are white. And so dirty and skinny and ugly.
They started crying. They looked so sad and hungry. She had second thoughts. They needed her help. She couldn’t leave them, even if they were so different. She went near them, she licked them, she cleaned them and put them onto her tummy to suck again...
