The dog in the Manger |
Morale of the Story: " People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves. " |
| A Dog looking out for its afternoon
nap jumped into the an Ox and lay there cozily upon the straw. But soon the Ox,returning from its afternoon work, came up to the Manger and wanted to eat some of the straw. The Dog in a rage, being awakened from its slumber, stood up and barked at the Ox, and whenever it came near the dog attempted to bite it. At last the Ox had to give up the hope of getting at the straw, and went away muttering: "Ah, people often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves." |
