The Mischievous Dog
Aesop Fable: The Mischievous Dog
A dog used to run up quietly to the heels of everyone he
met, and to bite them without notice. His master suspended
a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of
his presence wherever he went.
Thinking it a mark of distinction,
the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling
it all over the marketplace.
One day an old hound said to
him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That
bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit,
but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to
all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog."
Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.
