The Man Bitten by a Dog.A Man who had been bitten by a Dog was going about asking who could curehim. One that met him said: "Sir, if you would be cured, take a bit ofbread and dip it in the blood of the wound, and give it to the dog thatbit you." The Man smiled, and said: "If I were to follow your advice, Ishould be bitten by all the dogs in the city." He who proclaims himself ready to buy up his enemies will never want asupply of them.
