Beware the Dog : Roald Dahl [26 of 32]

• He was looking at the hedge when he saw the sign. It was just a piece of board nailed to the top of a short pole,
• and because the hedge had not been trimmed for a long time, the branches had grown out around the sign so that it seemed
• almost as though it had been placed in the middle of the hedge. There was something written on the board with white paint,
• and he pressed his head against the glass of the window, trying to read what it said. The first letter was a G, he could see that.
• The second was an A, and the third was an R. One after another he managed to see what the letters were.
• There were three words, and slowly he spelled the letters out aloud to himself as he managed to read them.
• G-A-R-D-E A-U C-H-I-E-N. Garde au chien. That is what it said.
