Rusty
An old couple were starving - nothing at all to eat for days. They were desperate just to get something in their bellies, both of them on the verge of starvation.
After some soul searching they reluctantly come to a decision.
'We'll have to eat our faithful old dog!'
So, the old man kills the dog and chops up some of their little remaining furniture to make a fire and the old woman prepares the dog and cooks a delicious stew.
Even though they are heartbroken to be eating their faithful old friend they thoroughly enjoy what could very well be their last meal together.
Afterwards as they sit one each side of their now dying fire wondering what tomorrow might bring, the old man, sucking the last of the gravy off his fingers, says to his wife, 'You know, it's a pity the old dog isn't alive, he'd have loved these bones.'
