Dogs in Mirrored Houses

Sensei Story

There was this dog, and he was a really cheerful dog.  His tail was always wagging, and he was constantly on the look for new and exciting sights, sounds, and especially smells!

One day, he was chasing a butterfly and ended up investigating a rather large hill of which he'd never been to before.

At the top of the hill, was a huge house that was very likely filled with people who might pet him, or even give him some delicious treats.  He decided to investigate further, and nudged his nose into the house with a big, hopeful grin on his face, and his tail wagging like crazy.

Inside, were hundreds and hundreds of dogs just like him!  They were all happy to see him, and all wagged their tales.  The happy dog barked a happy greeting and it was echoed back at him.  It was one of the most wonderful places he'd ever been!

About a week later, he met another dog, who was a bit mangy.  Its tail was between its legs, and it looked rather angry.  The happy dog convinced the angry dog to go see the house on the top of the hill, sure that it would cheer him up.

Begrudgingly, the angry dog conceded that it would at least go to look at it.

Sure enough, there was a house at the top of the hill, probably filled with some kind of trap, or other dogs who would steal from him.

Fearful of what could be inside, the angry dog prepped itself for a surprise attack or some other unknown fear, and burst through the door with its teeth barred.

There, confronting him, were hundreds and hundreds of angry dogs!  He quickly snarled at the dogs and barked angrily, and their angry barks echoed back at him.  He turned his tail and ran, vowing never to return to that horrible place.
