The Two Dogs的故事
            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 aggrieved at this,
            reproached his companion, saying, "It is very hard to have all
            this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate
            on the fruits of my exertions."  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.
