THE MOON AND THE DOG
A man, occupying an important and influential position in the society was often criticized for his honest and just way of dealing with things.
Once his friend enquired of him: “Why don’t you give fitting replies to your critics?”
To that the person replied:
“In my native town lives a widow who has a dog.
Whenever the moon shines, it goes outside and barks all night.”
The friend, confused on that example, asked: “ I didn’t get you…
… what is it about the dog and the moon?”
“Oh,” the man continued, “the moon went on shining — that’s all.”
