An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer.
One day the dog arrogantly says, “How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…”
“Me? How about me?” the ox says.
“You can only plough or draw a cart.” the dog slightly says.
“Yes. It’s true.” the ox says. “But if I don’t plough, what do you guard?”
