Answer:
- They put it down to his age. What child could help loving all creatures ? In their zeal to establish this fact, they went to the extent of delving into ancient history to find out what " The Scourge of Europe " was like when he was a child. It was rumoured that as a child he clung to his friends and to his parents' friends so fast that often he had to be beaten and separated. But when he was fourteen he showed the first sign of his future : he knocked down and plunged his knife into a fellow who tried to touch his marbles. Ah, this was encouraging. Let our dog reach the parallel of fourteen years and people would get to know his real nature. But this was a vain promise. He stood up twenty inches high, had a large frame, and a forbidding appearance on the whole but that was all. A variety of people entered the gates of the house every day : mendicants, bill-collectors, postmen, tradesmen, and family friends. All of them were warmly received by Attila. The moment the gate clicked he became alert and stood up looking towards the gate. By the time anyone entered the gate Attila went blindly charging forward. But that was all. The person had only to stop and smile, and Attila would melt. He would behave as if he apologized for even giving an impression of violence. He would lower his head, curve his body, tuck his tail between his legs, roll his eyes, and moan as if to say : " How sad that you should have mistaken my gesture ! I only hurried down to greet you." Till he was patted on the head, stroked, and told that he was forgiven, he would be in extreme misery. Gradually he realized that his bouncing advances caused much unhappy misunderstanding. And so when he heard the gate click he hardly stirred. He merely looked in that direction and wagged his tail. The people at home did not very much like this attitude. They thought it rather a shame. " Why not change his name to Blind Worm ? " somebody asked. " He eats like an elephant," said the mother of the family. "You can employ two watchmen for the price of the rice and meat he consumes. Somebody comes every morning and steals all the flowers in the garden and Attila won't do anything about it . ." " He has better business to do than catch flower thieves," replied the youngest, always the defender of the dog. " What is the better business ? " " Well, if somebody comes in at dawn and takes away the flowers do you expect Attila to be looking out for him even at that hour ? " " Why not ? It's what a well-fed dog ought to be doing instead of sleeping. You ought to be ashamed of your dog."
