The Heavy Rock and the Helpful Dog

Once upon a time there was a heavy rock that needed to be moved. A stick and a log tried to lift it but couldn't. A dog came along and saw the struggle. The dog had an idea, it ran and fetched a piece of light wood to use as a lever. With the light wood, the stick and log were able to lift the heavy rock. The end.
