The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1648

Lord Fred looks up from the daunting crevasse and gazes imperiously about the passageway in which he stands. No helpful signs hung on the torch lit walls, nothing visible through the -now open- doorway but blackness. Nothing but the rocky walls and smooth floor of the stone tunnel.. and the yip-yipping little dog jumping about at his feet.
"What now doggie?" Fred asks being so co-dependent and un self-confident as to willingly rely even on the advice of a creature with a brain the size of half a baseball rather than his own judgement and common sense.
The dog happily turns two full circles and then sits down, barking and fanning the dusty floor with its tail.
"Dog, I demand you show me where you wanted me to go!" 'Lord' Fred shouts, beginning to lose his temper.
The dog growls and begins a fit of barking, biting at Lord Fred's shins. "Ow! Damn you!" Fred swats at the dog as it jumps about his legs, barking loudly.
"Bark bark bark!!"
Finally, the little dog ceases its attack and walks away toward the crevasse, looking back at Lord Fred several times. It walks up to the edge and turns sideways, now staring at Fred.
"You want me to go down into the hole boy?" Fred asks. The dog barks a couple of times. This is a puzzling answer so Fred tries another question.
"Do you want me to jump over it?" The little dog wags its tail and jumps up barking, then turns and lifts its leg to pee over the edge.
Lord Fred thinks about the dog's different reactions for a moment. Then finally he decides to..

  1. Lord Fred decides the little dog wants him to go down into the crevasse
  2. Lord Fred sees that the little dog obviously wants him to jump over to the open door
