The Dog in the Manger
There was once a dog who liked to nap on hot days in the
cool barn. He liked to sleep in the manger, the long wooden box
where hay was put for the farm animals to eat. One hot day after a
long afternoon pulling the plow, 2 the oxen returned to the barn,
hungry for their dinner. But they couldn’t get to their food because
the dog was lying in the manger taking a nap on the hay. “Excuse me,” said one of the tired oxen, “would you please move so that I
can eat my hay?”
The dog, angry at being awakened from his nap, growled and barked at the ox.
“Please,” said the tired, hungry ox, “I’ve had a hard day, and I’m very h
ungry.” But the dog, who did not even eat hay, but only enjoyed it for its comfort,
barked and snapped in response, and refused to budge. At last the poor oxen had to give up, and went away tired and hungry.
