The Tales Next Door
One of the boys picked up a small stone and threw it towards the old woman.
"You are a witch, the entire village says so, and witches should be pelted."
He picked up another stone, but as he threw it, he stumbled on the uneven ground, and the stone veered to the left of the woman and went in the nearby bushes.
Out came a stray brown dog, almost a puppy, growling at the boys from behind the bushes. The boy looked at the mangled dog. He picked up more stones and threw them at the small dog. The poor dog retreated a little, its tail under its hind legs and ears stretched at the back. Its ribs were protruding out, and it had a big wound where some other dog had probably bitten him.
