There was once a sheep-dog whose master behaved ill to him and did not give him enough to eat, and when for hunger he could bear it no longer, he left his service very sadly. In the street he was met by a sparrow, who said,
"Dog, my brother, why are you so sad?"
And the dog answered,
"I am hungry and have nothing to eat."
Then said the sparrow,
"Dear brother, come with me into the town; I will give you plenty."
