Solution

The good old man's neighbour killed the dog and buried it under the roots of pine-tree. The old man adorned its grave with flowers and shed tears over his lost pet.

That night the dog appeared to him. It asked him to make a mortar from the pine tree wood and use it. When he ground his rice, it turned into rich treasure. The neighbour borrowed the mortar. They tried to use it but all their rice turned into filth. So they broke the mortar and burnt it.

One night dog appeared to the good old man and told him that if he took the ashes and sprinkle them on whithered trees, the trees would revive and blossom.

He verified the power to bring back dead trees to life. A certain prince sent for him, he sprinkled the ashes on the poumpland cherry trees. The trees shoot out and Put forth flowers. So the prince gave him a rich reward and sent him rejoicing. Thus the dog helped the good old man even after its death.
