      The Dog and the Oyster



There was a Dog who lived near the sea-shore. He used to eat eggs.

Once he saw an Oyster and, opening his mouth to a very wide extent, swallowed it down, thought it was an egg.

 Soon afterwards suffering great pain in his stomach, he said, "I deserve all this pain, for my foolishness in thinking that everything round must be an egg."

Moral: They who act without adequate thought, will often fall into unsuspected danger.
