While other dogs guard doors, Clever does math.
When his master works on calculations at the desk, he lies nearby and watches.
"Base of three, altitude of four, what is the hypotenuse?"
The master taps the desk.
Clever goes woof, woof...barking five times.
"Clever boy."
Clever accompanied his master from the mountains of Lone Cloud to the banks of the Hutuo River.
He calculated it: a total of woof, woof, woof, woof... too many barks to count.
He thought days would go on being calculated like this...
Calculating the rain, the stars, and how many steps he could take with his master every day.
But one night, his master untied his leash and patted his head, "Clever, run with the stars. When you count to ten thousand, I'll be back."
So he ran and ran, until he was completely out of breath,
And looked up...
The sky was filled with stars.
He thought, how many barks would it take for ten thousand?
