In "The Mischievous Dog," we meet a playful dog known for surprising villagers by nipping at their heels. Fed up with this behavior, the dog's master attaches a bell and a clog to his collar, allowing people to hear him coming. Proud of his new accessories, the dog struts through the marketplace, unaware of the message they send. An old hound admonishes him, revealing that these items are not symbols of honor but rather marks of disgrace, warning others of his ill manners. This tale teaches a valuable lesson about pride and reputation.

The Mischievous Dog By Joshua Knauf And Joe Konen
A dog used to run up quietly to those he met and surprise them by biting and snapping at their heels.
This seriously annoyed the villagers, who complained to the dog’s master.
Finally, the master of this mischievous dog began to hang a bell about the dog's neck, or sometimes a chain attached to a heavy clog, so that people could hear the dog coming.
The dog grew proud of his bell and clog and went with them all over the market-place.
One day, an old hound finally said to him: "Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell and clog that you carry are not, believe me, orders of merit; on the contrary, they are marks of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill-mannered dog!"
