Why does the dog bark ( A Lithuanian Folktale)

Once when God the Creator had created the animals, he also gave voices to them. Just the dog did not get any voice. He went to the God to complain, that why only he did not get the voice while all other animals had got. Then the God said to him:
- You will always have to bark, but only when you hear that someone has already said something.
Now the dog whenever he just hears or sees that something moves or hears a persons voice, he starts barking immediately.

Translated from Hungarian by me
