Perceptions...

This is an adaptaion. Read on...

A rich man went into a forest for hunting. Tired from his physical exercise, he sought a pool to quench his thirst. He found one and drank from it. Just as he was about to return he noticed something strange. A dog was actually walking on water. He was amazed and ordered his men to catch it. Bringing it home, he couldnt keep quiet and decided to flaunt it.

So one day he called on all his neighbors to his lake and took them on a boat to the centre of the lake. There he whistled towards hgis house. The "water-dog" came running out of the house and trotted on the water towards the boat. The neighbors were amazed and flocked around the dog and started praising the owner for his unique pet. The rich man gloated with pride. But in all this, he noticed that one man was silent and unperturbed and appeared to have not noticed the dog at all. The rich man's ego was hurt and he decided to confront the silent man.

So while returning from the trip, he went to the man and asked him,

"Did you notice something unusual today?".

"Yes, i did. Your dog does not know to swim!" the man replied.
