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 bestowed1 upon the evil-disposed increase their

　　means of injuring you.
