FLYING DOG

Two boys were walking in the woods when they came across a cottage in a clearing. Seeing that it was deserted, they went to investigate and discovered an old, overgrown well. Being at that curious age, they decided to find out how deep it was, so one boy picked up a stone and dropped it down the well. After what seemed like forever, there was a quiet splash as the stone hit the bottom. The other boy then found a bigger stone and dropped it down the well - the splash was a little louder this time. The boys began looking for bigger and bigger rocks to make louder and louder splashes. Eventually, one boy found a large metal spike in the ground and pulled it out and, with a big grin, he threw it down the well. They then noticed that the spike was attached to a long chain that was now rattling through the long grass and into the well. The chain gathered momentum until suddenly, a tethered dog, scared out of its wits, burst through the bushes, whizzed past them and went hurding down the well.
