<h2>THE GARDENER AND HIS DOG</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Gardner's Dog fell into a deep well, from which his master
used to draw water for the plants in his garden with a rope and a
bucket. Failing to get the Dog out by means of these, the Gardener
went down into the well himself in order to fetch him up. But the
Dog thought he had come to make sure of drowning him; so he bit his
master as soon as he came within reach, and hurt him a good deal,
with the result that he left the Dog to his fate and climbed out of
the well, remarking, "It serves me quite right for trying to save
so determined a suicide."</p>
