peter was a ventriloquist . he worked in theatres and night clubs, but he wasn't very good, and one month he was out of work and hungry. then he found a dog on the street and took it into a restaurant with him. they sat down at a table, and the dog seemed to order food and talk about it , so the owner of the restaurant, the waiters, and the other guests were very surprised.

the owner thought that a lot of people would come to his restaurant to listen to the dog speak if it was his, so he offered to buyit ,and finally the ventriloquist agreed to sell the dog for a high price.

when the owner of the restaurant had paid, the dog said to the ventriloquist,"well, you sold me,didn'tyou ?"

"yes,i did,"answered the ventriloquist.

"then i refuse to speak ever again."
