A man made pots and containers out of brass. He lived in the woods. He had no relatives. Thus, he felt lonely at times. One day, he got a dog for company. The man worked hard but his dog did not help him and slept while he worked. However, when the man sat down to eat food, the dog would wake up and ask the man for food. The man did not like this behaviour of the dog but he did not say anything. Their days passed in this way. But one day, as the dog asked for the food, the man got angry. He scolded his dog, “You useless and lazy creature! You come to me only when you are hungry. You never help me in any way. I have had enough of you. Do you not know that only the people who work hard can have food?”
