There was a Traveller 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."
Moral: The loiterer often blames delay
on his more active friend.
