Once upon a time, dogs lived in the forest like the wolves. They were their own masters but there happened to be a dog who did not like this sort of life. He did not like to be always looking for food. He was sick of remaining frightened by those who were stronger. Then to the solution of his problem, he decided to become the servant of one who was stronger than anybody else.

He went on walking, he met a big Wolf. The Wolf asked him where he was going. The Dog told him that he was looking for someone to take up service with. He asked the Wolf if he would like to be his master and the Wolf agreed to take him as a servant. 

They walked and walked until they came across a bear. Seeing the Bear, the wolf hid himself in a bush. The Dog was much surprised. He asked the wolf what the matter was. The wolf said that the bear could eat both of them. When the dog saw that the Bear was stronger than the Wolf, he left the Wolf. 

He went to the bear to be his servant. Soon after he found that the bear was afraid of the lion. So the dog decided to serve the lion. The lion agreed to it. He lived happily with the Lion for a long time, as the Lion was the strongest beast in the forest. No one dared touch or offend the Dog. It was a good life for the dog.

How the Dog Found Himself a New Master Summary in Hindi

एक बार की बात है, कुत्ते भेड़ियों की तरह जंगल में रहते थे।  वे अपने मालिक थे लेकिन एक कुत्ता हुआ जो इस तरह का जीवन पसंद नहीं करता था।  उसे हमेशा भोजन की तलाश में रहना पसंद नहीं था।  वह उन लोगों से भयभीत रहने के लिए बीमार था जो मजबूत थे।  फिर अपनी समस्या के समाधान के लिए उन्होंने किसी और से अधिक शक्तिशाली व्यक्ति का सेवक बनने का फैसला किया।

वह चलता चला गया, उसे एक बड़ा भेड़िया मिला।  भेड़िया ने उससे पूछा कि वह कहाँ जा रहा है।  कुत्ते ने उसे बताया कि वह किसी के साथ सेवा करने के लिए ढूंढ रहा था।  उसने भेड़िये से पूछा कि क्या वह उसका मालिक बनना चाहेगा और भेड़िया उसे नौकर के रूप में लेने के लिए तैयार हो गया।

वे चलते रहे और तब तक चलते रहे जब तक कि उन्हें एक भालू नहीं मिल गया।  भालू को देखकर भेड़िया एक झाड़ी में छिप गया।  कुत्ता बहुत हैरान हुआ।  उसने भेड़िये से पूछा कि क्या बात है।  भेड़िये ने कहा कि भालू उन दोनों को खा सकता है।  जब कुत्ते ने देखा कि भालू भेड़िये से ज्यादा ताकतवर है, तो उसने भेड़िये को छोड़ दिया।

वह भालू के पास अपना सेवक बनने गया।  कुछ ही देर बाद उसने पाया कि भालू शेर से डरता है।  तो कुत्ते ने शेर की सेवा करने का फैसला किया।  सिंह इसके लिए राजी हो गया।  वह लंबे समय तक शेर के साथ खुशी-खुशी रहा, क्योंकि शेर जंगल का सबसे मजबूत जानवर था।  किसी ने कुत्ते को छूने या अपमानित करने की हिम्मत नहीं की।  यह कुत्ते के लिए एक अच्छा जीवन था।

एक दिन कुत्ता और शेर एक संकरे रास्ते पर साथ-साथ चल रहे थे।  शेर ने एक आदमी को सूंघा और कुत्ते से कहा कि वह उसके साथ भाग जाए।  नहीं तो उन्हें परेशानी होगी।  कुत्ते ने शेर से पूछा, क्या बात है।  तब सिंह ने कहा कि वह मनुष्य से डरता है।

तो कुत्ते ने शेर को अलविदा कहा और आदमी के पास गया।  तब से, कुत्ता मनुष्य के साथ अपने सबसे वफादार सेवक के रूप में रहा है और किसी अन्य स्वामी को नहीं जानता है।
