Dog’s Life

Dog’s Life

A homeless boy walks through the market. He steals two sausages, two plates and a candle.

In the evening, he prepares dinner. He spreads a newspaper over a box and sets the plates and candle on the makeshift table. He lights the candle and combs his hair. He takes a puppy out of a box and together they enjoy their delicious meal.

Angry market vendors arrive but soon retreat once they see the boy and the puppy.
