  More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince(王子)of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.One day the Prince wanted to go hunt-ing(打猎)with his men.He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son.The baby was in a wooden cradle(摇篮), which was like a small bed.When the Prince came back from hunt-ing, Gelert ran out to meet his master(主人).He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws(爪子)on the Prince's chest.Then the Prince saw the blood(血)on Gelert's jaws and head.

  "What have you done? " the Prince said.He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son.The cradle was lying on its side on the floor.The clothes were torn(撕坏)and there was blood on them.

  "So you have killed my son? " the Prince said angrily."You unfaithful dog! " He took out his sword(剑)and killed the dog.Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark.Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
