You were a royal dog - the favorite dog of the king and queen.You were purebred, thoroughbred, and beautiful, with good manners and the purest wool in the kingdom, because you were washed with the most expensive shampoo, which made the wool shine in the sun.And the Ghost was the dog of one of the hunters, he had long been accustomed to hunting and protecting his master since childhood, and to the ability to pounce on hares, catch deer, and defend himself from larger opponents such as bears, foxes or wolves.Simon has never played with anyone other than knights and masters, he has never even thought that there are other dogs besides him, much less girls.Simon never had time to explore the world and learn something new, he practiced jumping and his hunting skills all the time in training, he could never feel any attraction and craving for anything other than his work.One evening, when his master and his friends came to the castle, when the king invited them to dinner, the Ghost silently lay down near the master's foot, feeling hungry and thinking how good it would be to have dinner now.When he got up to look around the castle, he went into the room, it was surprisingly large, the ceiling was so high as if giants lived here.When the Ghost got used to the dim candlelight, he saw someone on the bed and froze.When he saw that it was not a wolf , nor a fox , but a dog the same as him , only much cleaner and of a different coat color.He sat down and said in the same serious voice: — Who are you?
