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.

一个人打点好了行装准备出发。

这时，他看见他的狗仍站在门口打呵欠，便严厉地对它说：为什么你还站在那里打呵欠？

一切准备妥当，只等你了，赶快跟我走吧！

”狗摇着尾巴回答说：主人！

我早就准备好了，我等你等得都打呵欠了。

” 这是说有些人不检点自己，还常常把过失归咎于别人。
