The Man Bitten by a Dog
        A MAN who had been bitten by a Dog went about in quest of someone
        who might heal him.  A friend, meeting him and learning what he
        wanted, said, "If you would be cured, take a piece of bread, and
        dip it in the blood from your wound, and go and give it to the
        Dog that bit you."  The Man who had been bitten laughed at this
        advice and said, "Why? If I should do so, it would be as if I
        should beg every Dog in the town to bite me."
       
        Benefits bestowed upon the evil-disposed increase their
        means of injuring you.
