Fable 183 - The Dog and the Butcher

A dog bounded into a butcher’s shop and seized a heart while the butcher was busy, and then made his getaway. Turning round,
the butcher saw him flee with it and shouted:
‘Hey, you! Wherever you may run to, I’ll have my eye on you. For you haven’t made me lose heart but caused me to take heart.’

This fable shows that accidents are often an education for men.
