The Wolf and the House-dog.A Wolf, meeting with a big, well-fed Mastiff, having a wooden collarabout his neck, inquired of him who it was that fed him so well, and yetcompelled him to drag that heavy log about wherever he went. "Themaster," he replied. Then, said the Wolf: "May no friend of mine ever bein such a plight; for the weight of this chain is enough to spoil theappetite." Nothing can compensate us for the loss of our liberty. From Aesop's Fables |
