A man once had a dog named Timex, and his dog loved him very much. every day that the man came home from work, the dog would lreap up on him and lick him in the face to sho him how much he so loved his master. Day after day the same thing, man comes hom, and dog comesa up to eagerly lick him in ythe face.
Well, one day the dog got a really bad case of ticks. But it mattered little in the matter of the dog's love, for his master came hom and right on time the dog leaped up and licked him in the face. next day the ticks got worse but still the dog would lick his beloveds master in the face. The ticks started to makes the dog sick but still the dog would greet his master with a thorough face-drenching. Weaker still the dog got from the ticks, but still he would just keep up that licking.
Which prooves the moral of our story: That dog, Timex, could take a ticking and keep on licking.
