THE DOG IN THE MANGER

An Aesop Fable

This Ongoing Tales Old Time Fairy Tale Site Is Brought to You By Antelope Publishing
E-Publishers of Browser Readable E-Books on CD-ROM Since 1995

DOG was lying in a Manger on the hay which had been put there for the cattle, and when they came and tried to eat, he growled and snapped at them and wouldn't let them get at their food. "What a selfish beast," said one of them to his companions; "he can't eat himself and yet he won't let those eat who can."

People often begrudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.
