A
CERTAIN MAN, detained by a storm in his country house, first of all
killed his sheep, and then his goats, for the maintenance of his
household. The storm still continuing, he was obliged to slaughter
his yoke oxen for food. On seeing this, his Dogs took counsel
together, and said, "It is time for us to be off, for if the master
spare not his oxen, who work for his gain, how can we expect him to
spare us?"
Moral:
He is not to be trusted
as a friend who mistreats his own family
The Master and His Dogs
