as ever they could. The poor Dog tried to defend his basket as
long as he could; but he had no chance at all among such a number of
foes. At last he said to himself, "Well, if the dinner must be stolen,
I may just as well have my share too;" and he began to eat just as
fast as the rest. In a minute or two all the dinner was eaten, and the
Dog's hungry Master, who was working in the field, waited for it in
vain.

Did this Dog do right in eating of the dinner? No. For if others do
wrong, that is no reason why we should do wrong too.

THE PIGS.

"We must be very clever fellows," said a young Pig. "We are taken out
to feed every day, and a boy is kept to look after us."

"Do not deceive yourself," said a shrewd old Hog. "When winter comes
most of us will be killed, for the food of man. They do not care about
us, but they like to eat our flesh."
