Once there was a family who lived in a village. They owned a dog for 12 years whose name was Sultan. The Sultan was very faithful toward the family. But now, he had grown too old and couldn’t serve the family. He had lost all teeth. One day, his owner told his wife that he would be leaving Sultan in a forest so that they could get rid of him.
The Old Sultan heard the conversations between the owner and his wife. In the evening, he went for a walk with teary eyes and thought about all the security and love that he had given to them in the past years. Sultan came across a wolf and became friends with him. The Sultan told the wolf the whole story. So, the wolf decided to help him. He made a plan to make the Sultan's owner feel that he was doing wrong.
Sultan and The Wolf
The next day, the owner and his wife took Sultan with them to the forest to leave him there. They open the sultan’s belt and leave him. They were on their way home but forgot the way because it was dark in the forest. The sound of wild animals was echoing. They were afraid and took their steps fast.
It was the right time to execute the plan which the wolf and dog planned together. Wolf was coming near his owner and acted like he was going to bite him. His owner shouts loudly and asks the sultan to rescue him from the wolf. The Sultan was seeing everything.
He ran very fast and barked at the wolf. The wolf ran away in fear. His owner and wife were safe as Sultan bravely rescued them from the wolf. The Sultan's owner was guilty and felt sorry for the old Sultan. He said, “Not a hair shall be hurt and you shall eat my bread as long as you live”. He thanked the old Sultan for rescuing him from the wolf. They took Sultan back to their home. From that day onwards, the old Sultan was as well off as he could wish to be.
