えいごで: The current Japanese fairy tale concerns an old couple who adopt a white dog to raise as a child. As thanks the dog leads them to a nice bit of gold. The neighbour, getting jealous, tries to get the dog to also lead him to some gold, only to be lead to a stash of scary critters. The neighbour gets angry and kills the dog, somehow I think things will not end well for him.
