The Thief And The Housedog
Aesop Fable: The Thief And The Housedog
A thief came in the night to break into a house. He brought
with him several slices of meat in order to pacify the
Housedog, so that he would not alarm his master by barking.
As the Thief threw him the pieces of meat, the Dog
said, "If you think to stop my mouth, you will be greatly
mistaken. This sudden kindness at your hands will only
make me more watchful, lest under these unexpected favors
to myself, you have some private ends to accomplish
for your own benefit, and for my master’s injury."
