好耐好耐之前,有三個女仔一齊出門搵柴。
天時好熱,佢哋就跳入河遊吓水。佢哋一路游水,一路玩,瀄出好多水花。
突然間,佢哋留意到時間已經好晏嘞,急急腳趕返條村。
當佢哋就快返到屋企嘅時候,挪姿卑莉摸吓條頸,發現唔見咗條頸鏈嘞。佢噅求兩個好友就話:「同我一齊返去搵吓啦!」但係佢嘅朋友都話太晏啦。
挪姿卑莉一個人返到河邊,搵到條頸鏈,快快脆脆返屋企,但係已經黑孖孖,噉佢就蕩失路啦。
佢响遠處見到間著咗燈嘅小茅屋。佢走到茅屋門口,拍拍吓道門。
挪姿卑莉嚇咗一跳,因為開門嘅竟然係一隻識講嘢嘅狗:「你嚟做咩嘢?」挪姿卑莉就話:「我蕩失咗路,要搵個地方瞓覺。」隻狗答佢就話:「入嚟啦,唔係我就咬你!」噉挪姿卑莉就入咗間屋。
隻狗就話:「煮飯俾我食!」挪姿卑莉答佢就話:「但係我從來都冇試過煮飯俾狗食喎。」隻狗就話:「快啲煮飯啦,唔係我就咬你!」挪姿卑莉冇辦法,唯有煮啲嘢俾隻狗食啦。
隻狗就話:「幫我鋪床!」挪姿卑莉答佢就話:「但係我從來都冇試過幫狗鋪床喎。」隻狗就話:「快啲鋪床啦,唔係我就咬你!」挪姿卑莉冇辦法,唯有幫隻狗鋪床啦。
挪姿卑莉每日都要幫隻狗煮飯,打掃間屋,仲有洗衫。有一日呢,隻狗就話:「挪姿卑莉,我今日要出門見朋友。喺我返嚟之前,你要打掃好間屋,煮好飯,洗好衫。」
隻狗一走,挪姿卑莉就喺頭上面擝咗三條頭髮落嚟。佢放咗一條頭髮喺張床下面,一條喺道門後面,仲有一條喺個圍欄上面。然之後挪姿卑莉起勢噉走咗返屋企。
隻狗返到屋企之後,就開始搵挪姿卑莉:「挪姿卑莉,你喺邊度呀?」第一條頭髮就話:「我喺呢度,喺張床下面。」第二條頭髮就話:「我喺呢度,喺道門後面。」第三條頭髮就話:「我喺呢度,喺個圍欄上面。」
隻狗明白到挪姿卑莉出咗術呃佢。佢一味走到挪姿卑莉條村嗰度,但係挪姿卑莉班兄弟正攞晒啲棍仔出嚟等住佢呢!隻狗見形勢不妙,急急腳鬆人走咗,以後就冇人再見過佢啦。
