The Traveler and His Dog

Fri February 24, 2012 by Kunal Bansal

A Traveler about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the door stretching himself. He asked him sharply: 'Why do you stand there gaping? Everything is ready but you, so come with me instantly.' The Dog, wagging his tail, replied: 'O, master! I am quite ready; it is you for whom I am waiting.'

The loiterer often blames delay on his more active friend.
