THE CIRCUS DOG AND THE STREET DOGS
A dog who was being trained to fight in the public games snapped the collar
around his neck and went dashing through the streets. The street dogs could
tell that this fellow had been living the good life since he was as stout as
a bull, so they asked him why he was running away. The runaway replied, 'It's
true that I have been enjoying an abundance of food and living a comfortable
life, but I am also forced to fight with lions and bears, risking my life in
the arena.' The other dogs then said to one another, 'Our poor life must be
very fine, because we don't have to fight with lions and bears!' |
