THE HOUSE OF 1000 MIRRORS…

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a
place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small,
happy little dog learned of this place and decided to
visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the
stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through
the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail
wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he
found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs
with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled
a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great
smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the
house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful
place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not
quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the
house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his
head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the
1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he
growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little
dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to
himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go
back there again."
