A RICH MAN gave a great feast, to which he invited many friends

　　and acquaintances. His Dog availed himself of the occasion to

　　invite a stranger Dog, a friend of his, saying, "My master gives

　　a feast, and there is always much food remaining; come and sup

　　with me tonight." The Dog thus invited went at the hour

　　appointed, and seeing the preparations for so grand an

　　entertainment, said in the joy of his heart, "How glad I am that

　　I came! I do not often get such a chance as this. I will take

　　care and eat enough to last me both today and tomorrow." While he

　　was congratulating himself and wagging his tail to convey his

　　pleasure to his friend, the Cook saw him moving about among his

　　dishes and, seizing him by his fore1 and hind2 paws, bundled him

　　without ceremony out of the window. He fell with force upon the

　　ground and limped away, howling dreadfully. His yelling soon

　　attracted other street dogs, who came up to him and inquired how

　　he had enjoyed his supper. He replied, "Why, to tell you the

　　truth, I drank so much wine that I remember nothing. I do not

　　know how I got out of the house."
