Fetch
Becky Bravo (Adapted)

There was an old man who lived

at the top of a very high mountain.
He had no one with him but his dog
named “Fetch.”
Since he was very old, and his
knees often wobbled, he could not
go down the mountain and climb up
again. The village people at the foot
of the mountain were also too busy
to be able to see the old man at the
mountain top.
Everytime he’d feel lonely, the
old man would call Fetch and let
him get something down the
First, Fetch got him a banduria. “Master,” said the dog.
“Here is a gift from the man whose house is full of music.”
When the old man became lonely again, Fetch got him
something from the village. Next, Fetch went down the
mountain and when he came back, he brought a sungka.
“Master, here is a gift from the man whose house is full of
playthings,” Fetch said. The next things he brought from
the village for the old man were a pet monkey, a parrot,
and a music box which he said were also gifts from different
people. One day, however, the old man needed something
else that would amuse him.
Fetch hurriedly went down the mountain from the east
side to west side and around and back again just to find one
last thing that could amuse his master. Fetch talked to the
village people so the people went up the mountain and soon
decided to build their houses around the old man’s house.
The old man was very happy. He thanked his dog Fetch,
saying, “You have served me well. You have fetched me
