Fable
The Dog and His Master's Dinner
A Dog had learned to carry his master's dinner
to him every day. He was very faithful to his duty, though the smell of the
good things in the basket tempted him.
The
Dogs in the neighborhood noticed him carrying the basket and soon discovered
what was in it. They made several attempts to steal it from him. But he always
guarded it faithfully.
Then
one day all the Dogs in the neighborhood got together and met him on his way
with the basket. The Dog tried to run away from them. But at last, he stopped
to argue.
That
was his mistake. They soon made him feel so ridiculous that he dropped the
basket and seized a large piece of roast meat intended for his master's dinner.
"Very
well," he said, "you divide the rest."
Moral
- Do not stop to argue with temptation.
