My lazy dog

One day after I had lunch I was enjoying tea in the front terrace of my home. On the opposite house's brick fence I noticed a very skinny shabby dog. She was watching me with really sad eyes.

I remembered that I still had some warm food left from the lunch so I took it and put it on the ground near the fence. The dog longingly looked at the food for a while but was scared to jump off - the brick fence was too high.  She started marching back and forth balancing herself on the narrow brick wall and always watching the food with hungry eyes.

I saw her saliva stretching to the brick wall - it looked like she hadn't eaten for a long time. However this hunger she felt didn't inspire her to go far enough to get to the lowering part of the fence where she would be able to jump to the ground and take the food.....
