The Traveler and His Dog
            A TRAVELER about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the
            door stretching himself.  He asked him sharply:  "Why do you stand
            there gaping? Everything is ready but you, so come with me
            instantly."  The Dog, wagging his tail, replied:  "O, master! I am
            quite ready; it is you for whom I am waiting."
            The loiterer often blames delay on his more active friend.
