More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.
One day, the Prince wanted to go hunting(打猎) with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a small wooden bed.
When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet him. He was so excited that he jumped up to the Prince. Then the Prince saw the blood on his head. He rushed into his house and found the bed lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were everywhere and there was blood on them.
The Prince thought the dog had killed his son and took out his sword, killing the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby calling to the dog. The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf.
The Prince ran back into the house but it was too late. Gelert was dead. The Prince was sad. He realized he had killed his faithful friend. The Prince buried him on the top of the mountain. After this, The Prince never smiled again.
