The Dog's House

IN THE WINTERTIME, a Dog curled up in as small a space as
possible on account of the cold, determined¹ to make himself a
house.  However when the summer returned again, he lay asleep
stretched at his full length and appeared to himself to be of a
great size.  Now he considered that it would be neither an easy
nor a necessary work to make himself such a house as would
accommodate him.
