One day when Jack was walking in the park， he saw a woman he knew sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.

Jack walked up to the woman and said， “Hello， Sue， how are you？ May I sit and talk with you for a while？”

“Of course， please sit down，” Sue said.

Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench， and they talked quietly together.

The dog continued to looked up at Sue， as if waiting for her to feed him.

“Thats a nice dog，” Jack said， pointing at the animal.

“Yes， hes handsome. Hes a bit of a mixture， but thats not a bad thing. Hes strong and healthy.”

“And hungry，” Jack said. “He hasnt taken his eyes off you. He thinks youve got some food for him.”

“Thats true，” Sue said. “But I havent.”

The two friends laughed and then Jack said， “Does your dog bite？”

“No，” Sue said. “Hes never bitten anyone. Hes always gentle and good-tempered.”

Hearing this， Jack decided to touch the dog. He put out his hand and touched the animals head. Immediately it jumped up and bit him.

“Hey！” Jack shouted. “You said your dog didnt bite.”

Sue answered，“Thats not my dog. My dogs at home.”
