Reading A: Why Dog and Cat are Enemies

A couple held a special lucky gold ring, and whoever had it would always have enough money. But, they didn't know so they sold the ring, and became very poor. They had a dog and cat who were also poor and starving, and wanted to help their owners. The dog suggested getting the ring back. The dog wanted the cat to catch a mouse to retrieve the ring.

The cat liked the idea, and caught a mouse to do the deed. The mouse, dog and cat went on a journey to fetch the ring, and bring it back to the pet's owners. The cat could climb over objects that the dog had to run around, so the cat beat the dog home. The cat was praised for retrieving the ring. The dog was beat and scolded for not getting the ring, and the cat did not step in to say the dog helped. The dog was so mad that the cat did not tell the owners that it was his idea, and that he did a majority of the work getting the ring back. The dog tried to chase the cat, and the two have been enemies ever since.

The beginning of the feud between dog and cat.

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

She also was the home to six big huge, evil garfish. These fish were mean, and they always tried to eat the little fish. They would chase the little fish and scare them. They would back them into corners of the pond, and separate them from the group of 12. The small fish had finally had enough. They begged their grandmother river to help them.
