Was it magic?


 
There was once a girl and her dog
One loved food, the other loved frogs...

It so happened one fine summer’s day,
When the sun was blazing away;
The girl and her dog were home alone
And the heat had gotten to them both.


 The poor girl sat in her room, trying to study;
While the dog was roaming about, “probably being grumpy!”
She decided to find the dog, and see if he needed water
“Surely, the heat for him must be a bigger bother!”

Lo and behold, what should she find:  
The dog in the other room, sleeping like a child! 
The AC was switched on, and the room was cool
She was shocked, and felt like a fool!

“Is there someone else in the house, waiting to attack?
(The dog could have been courteous, and invited me perhaps)
After all, who else could have switched on the air conditioner?
Surely a dog is not capable of this endeavor…”

Yet nobody else in the house she could find,
Was it the dog or was it some power divine? 
It was a mystery, and it remains so till this day,
Who did it, nobody could say!

There was once a girl and her dog,
And one was smart, the other was not …


Is he the culprit? ....I don't think so either! 




This may or may not have been inspired by real life events, that depends on who you are deciding was the smart one...
