Once upon a time, there was a tired old dog. He had lived a long life filled with running and playing. But now, he could only walk slowly. His fur was gray and patchy. Every day, he would lie in the sun in the yard. He didn't chase squirrels anymore. He just watched the world go by with his tired eyes. One day, a little puppy came to visit. The old dog was too tired to play but he wagged his tail a little to welcome the puppy. The puppy seemed to understand the old dog's tiredness and just lay down beside him.
A moral could be about the value of rest. The tired old dog has earned its rest after a life of activity. In our own lives, we often push ourselves too hard without realizing that rest is just as important. The old dog's story can remind us to take a break and not overexert ourselves, and also to be kind to those who are in a state of needing rest.
