Brownie is a scruffy, golden-brown dog walking down a long, dusty road under the hot afternoon sun. His stomach rumbles loudly as he searches for something to eat, feeling more tired and hungry with every step he takes.
As he trots along, Brownie whispers to himself, dreaming of finding a secret place filled with his favorite treats. He imagines a hidden spot where he can eat until he is finally satisfied and happy.
At the very end of the road, Brownie spots a small, inviting opening leading into a cozy-looking burrow. His eyes light up with excitement as he realizes it might be the answer to his hungry prayers.
Inside the burrow, Brownie discovers a mountain of delicious food left behind by travelers. Without a second thought, he dives into the feast, wagging his tail wildly as he enjoys the unexpected treasure.
Even after his hunger is completely gone, Brownie continues to gulp down every last morsel he can find. He ignores the feeling of being full and greedily eats everything until the burrow is totally empty.
Brownie’s belly has grown so large and round that it looks like a giant balloon about to pop. He lets out a loud, satisfied burp and decides it is finally time to wiggle back out and head home.
When Brownie reaches the narrow entrance, he realizes with a shock that he is now too wide to fit through the opening. He pushes and squeezes with all his might, but his big tummy keeps him stuck tight in the doorway.
Feeling scared and trapped, Brownie begins to howl and bark loudly, hoping someone will hear his cries for help. A passing dog hears the noise and stops by the entrance to see what the commotion is about.
The wise passing dog looks at Brownie’s round belly and explains that he must simply wait for his stomach to shrink. He gives Brownie a knowing look about being too greedy and walks away, leaving him to wait patiently.
After many hours of waiting, Brownie’s stomach finally returns to its normal size, allowing him to easily squeeze out of the burrow. He trots away into the sunset, promising himself never to take more than he needs again.

Habang naglalakad, ibinubulong niya sa sarili na kailangan niyang makakita ng isang lunggang puno ng pagkain. Nang makakita siya ng lungga sa dulo ng kalsada, agad siyang pumasok dito. Kumain siya hanggang mabusog. Pero kahit busog na siya, kumain pa rin at inubos ang lahat ng pagkain sa loob ng lungga. Sa kanyang kabusugan, halos pumutok ang malaki niyang tiyan. Nang lalabas na lamang siya, napansin niyang hindi na siya magkasya sa labasan. Sumigaw siya upang humingi ng tulong. Dumating ang isa pang aso at nalaman ang nangyari. Bago ito umalis, nagwika siya sa kasamang aso, “Hintayin mo na lang umipis ang tiyan mo.” Paglipas ng ilang oras ay lumiit na rin ang tiyan ni Brownie at siya ay nakalabas sa lungga. Natutunan niyang huwag maging sakim sa pagkain.
