WIN) You pick up two stones from the street. You try to aim the stone at the snarling dog, but your hands are trembling. You throw the stone, but it lands harmlessly behind the now very angry animal. The second stone is released, flies through the air, and whacks the mangy mutt right on the snout! With a yelp, the dog retreats to a dark alley with its tail between its legs. Wheew! You were fortunate this time.

THE END
