Perro viejo

Los cachorros no quieren ir a visitar al abuelo. Les parece muy aburrido porque sólo habla de sus viejos tiempos. No les cabe en la imaginación que alguna vez fuera un perro joven o divertido, y por eso el abuelo se decide a demostrarles que están equivocados, enseñándoles que a pesar de ser viejo aún puede llegar muy lejos.

The dogs don’t want to go visit grandpa. He seems very boring to them because all he talks about are old times. They can’t imagine that he was once a young or fun dog. So grandpa decides to show them they’re wrong, that being old doesn’t mean you can’t go far.
