　　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 aggrieved1 at this,

　　reproached his companion, saying, "It is very hard to have all

　　this labor2, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate

　　on the fruits of my exertions3." 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.
