Sampul The Dog in the Manger

A Dog was lying in a Manger on the hay which had been put there for the cattle, and when they came and tried to eat, he growled and snapped at them and wouldn't let them get at their food. "What a selfish beast," said one of them to his companions; "he can't eat himself and yet he won't let those eat who can."

Seekor Anjing sedang berbaring di dalam palungan di atas jerami yang telah diletakkan untuk sapi-sapi, dan ketika mereka datang dan mencoba makan, ia menggeram dan menggigit ke arah mereka serta tidak membiarkan mereka mendekati makanan itu. "Sungguh binatang yang egois," kata salah satu sapi kepada teman-temannya; "ia sendiri tidak bisa makan, tetapi ia juga tidak mau membiarkan mereka yang bisa makan."
