<h2>THE MISCHIEVOUS DOG</h2>
<br/>
<p>There was once a Dog who used to snap at people and bite them
without any provocation, and who was a great nuisance to every one
who came to his master's house. So his master fastened a bell round
his neck to warn people of his presence. The Dog was very proud of
the bell, and strutted about tinkling it with immense satisfaction.
But an old dog came up to him and said, "The fewer airs you give
yourself the better, my friend. You don't think, do you, that your
bell was given you as a reward of merit? On the contrary, it is a
badge of disgrace."</p>
