The Two Dogs

Two dogs once lived in a big house. One dog hunted, the other guarded the house. Every day the man took him hunting. The house dog lay in the garden.

The hunting dog ran fast and caught animals. In the evening the man brought tasty meat. The big meat went to the house dog.

The hunting dog was very angry. "I work, but you eat meat," he said. The house dog looked at him and answered.

"Do not blame me, our master taught me." "He taught me to rest, not to work." The hunting dog found no answer. Every creature lives the way it learned. As you sow, so shall you reap.
