The Man Bitten By A Dog
A Man who had been bitten by a Dog went about in quest of someone
who might heal him. A friend, meeting him and learning what he wanted,
said, "If you would be cured, take a piece of bread, and dip it in
the blood from your wound, and go and give it to the Dog that bit
you." The Man who had been bitten laughed at this advice and said,
"Why? If I should do so, it would be as if I should beg every Dog
in the town to bite me."
Benefits bestowed upon the evil-disposed increase their means of injuring
you.
