Animation

There was a priest in the village and he had a dog. The priest owned a big shed in which he kept a huge amount of meat. The dog guarded this shed from other dogs, but one day the dog could not resist and ate one of the sausages. The priest noticed this and killed his pet. Then he buried the dog near the fence and made an inscription: "Priest had a dog, he loved it, it ate a piece of meat, he killed it, buried it in the ground, and wrote this inscription so that...", but, fixated, begins to write it on the ground. Thus he, continuing to write, visits various parts and countries, and eventually returns to his home and finishes writing near the place where he buried his dog. But upon entering the barn, the priest sees various animals greedily eating everything in it.
