The Dog And The Rooster
Aesop Fable: The Dog And The Rooster
A rich man gave a great feast, to which he invited many
friends and acquaintances. His Dog availed himself of the
occasion to invite a stranger Dog, a friend of his, saying,
"My master gives a feast, and there is always much food
remaining; come and sup with me tonight."
The Dog thus invited went at the hour appointed, and
seeing the preparations for so grand an entertainment, said
in the joy of his heart, "How glad I am that I came! I do not
often get such a chance as this. I will take care and eat
enough to last me both today and tomorrow."
While he was congratulating himself and wagging his tail
to convey his pleasure to his friend, the Rooster saw him
moving about among his dishes and, seizing him by his
fore and hind paws, bundled him without ceremony out of
the window.
He fell with force upon the ground and limped
away, howling dreadfully. His yelling soon attracted other
street dogs, who came up to him and inquired how he had
enjoyed his supper. He replied, "Why, to tell you the truth,
I drank so much wine that I remember nothing. I do not
know how I got out of the house."
