<h2>THE FARMER AND HIS DOGS</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Farmer was snowed up in his farmstead by a severe storm, and
was unable to go out and procure provisions for himself and his
family. So he first killed his sheep and used them for food; then,
as the storm still continued, he killed his goats; and, last of
all, as the weather showed no signs of improving, he was compelled
to kill his oxen and eat them. When his Dogs saw the various
animals being killed and eaten in turn, they said to one another,
"We had better get out of this or we shall be the next to go!"</p>
