         The Two Dogs^15


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."

Children are not to be blamed for
the faults of their parents.
