A MAN had two dogs: a Hound, trained to assist him in his sports,
and a Housedog, taught to watch the house. When he returned home
after a good day's sport, he always gave the Housedog a large share
of his spoil. The Hound, feeling much aggrieved at this, reproached
his companion, saying, "It is very hard to have all this labor,
while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate on the fruits
of my exertions." The Housedog replied, "Do not blame me, my friend,
but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but
to depend for subsistence on the labor of others."
