More than 700 years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big dog. Its name was Gelert and it was very brave.It often went hunting(打猎> with the Prince. One day the Prince left his dog at home and told it to look after his baby son, who was sleeping in a small wooden bed.

Several hours later, when the Prince returned, Gelert ran out to meet him. Suddenly the Prince saw blood on Gelert's head.

“What have you been doing?” the Prince said angrily. He rushed into his room and saw the small bed lying on its side on the floor. There was blood on his son's clothes. But he didn’t see his son.

So you have killed my son!” the Prince shouted and killed the dog angrily. Just then the Prince heard a baby crying. He ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground . Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince realized that Gelert killed the wolf in order to save his son. The Prince ran back into the house quickly but he was too late. The brave Gelert was dead. Tears ran down the Prince’s face. He carried Gelert’s body to the top of the mountain and buried(埋葬> him there.
