Well....

Short. I expected that. About a dog and a man expected that. No spoilers here...But the dog was smarter than the man! LOL Ya, I should have expected that! Good narrator.

A Simple Lesson Worth Fifty Cents

The rational, egotistic mind of man contrasted with the instinctive mind of dog: a short lesson worth remembering.

The narration ought to have been in a more minor key, so to speak--it was a little too upbeat for the theme of this title. But hey, it's Jack London--find some pocket change and enjoy an evening's read.

Mi primer cuento de London

Me gustó el manejo de los símbolos: del fuego, el conocimiento, la vida y el instinto.

Only Jack Could Write This

One of his great short stories focusing his time in the Yukon.

Peter does a good read and you can feel the cold and need of fire.

ending is left open to imagination. I am not sure what was expected. I enjoyed the nature and details.
