Psycho But It's Okay

The Cheerful Dog

Once upon a time, there lived a dog that was very good at hiding his emotions. The dog was tied beneath a shade tree.

He always wagged his tail and acted cute.

So he got the name, "The Cheerful Dog," because he was as cheerful as springtime.

The dog always had a lot of fun with the village kids during the day.

But every night, he'd moan and whine when no one was around.

That's because he wanted to cut off the leash,

and freely run around out in the spring field.

However, he couldn't.
And that's why he cried every night. Every single night.

One day, a voice inside him asked the Cheerful Dog.

"Hey, why don't you just cut off the leash and run away?"

And this was the Cheerful Dog said,

"I've been tied up for way too long. So I forgot how to cut myself free"
