315.The Traveller 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:
“Master! I am quite ready; it is you for whom I am waiting.”
❖ The loiterer often blames delay on his more active friend.
