Long ago in a small village, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors.
A little dog learned about this place and decided to visit it one day. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and went into the house. He looked around with his ears up high and his tail wag- ging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”
In this same village, another little dog who often felt upset decided to pay a visit to the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw 1,000 un- friendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he growled at them and was frightened to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “What a terrible place. I will never go back there again.”
