The Two Dogs
Aesop Fable: The Two Dogs
A man had two dogs: a Hound, trained to assist him in his
sports, and a Housedog, taught to watch the house.
When
he returned home after a good day’s sport, he always gave
the Housedog a large share of his spoil. The Hound, feeling
much aggrieved at this, reproached his companion, saying,
"It is very hard to have all this labor, while you, who do
not assist in the chase, luxuriate on the fruits of my exertions."
The Housedog replied, "Do not blame me, my friend,
but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to
labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others."
Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.
