The Parable of the Grasshopper and the Dog

The other day while I was at work my wife and son came across a grasshopper.
My wife pointed it out and my son was enthralled by the grasshopper. He tried to touch it but, it just jumped away.

My dog jumped up and swatted it to the ground.

I am told that the grasshopper made a loud crunching sound under the dogs feet.
My son had a brief look at the smashed grasshopper before the dog ate it. If my son was a little older we would have had a lot of explaining to do.
