The Dog's House
Aesop | Greece
A Dog planned to build a house for winter, but changed his mind when summer arrived, leaving him regretful and unprotected when winter returned.

In a land where the seasons always changed, a Dog felt very cold during the winter. He decided to build a house. He collected sticks, stones, and leaves, imagining a cozy place to protect him from the cold winter winds.
But when winter turned into summer, the Dog was not cold anymore. He enjoyed the warm sun and the cool shade under a big tree. Looking at his pile of building materials, he thought, "Why do I need a house? The weather is nice, and I am warm here under this tree."
The Dog spent his summer days relaxing under the tree, forgetting about his house-building plan. His materials just sat there, unused, and his thoughts of building a house disappeared with the winter's cold.
When winter came again, the Dog started to shiver from the cold. He looked at the pile of sticks, stones, and leaves that should have been his house. But it was too late, and the Dog had to face the cold without any shelter. He regretted not building his house during the summer, as he had no protection from the freezing weather.
