There were once a dog and a cat sitting by a kitchen door.The cook came out and threw several pieces of meat to them.They both sprang to get the meat.The dog was the stronger .He ate it all himself.
This was selfishness.By this I mean that the dog cared only for himself.Was this wrong?No ,the dog knew no better.
Men are different from dogs.They follow a different rule of conauct.How miserable we should all be!Every person were to care only for himself.We ought to be thankful.We have a higher nature than that of beasts.We are able to see and feel the duty of being kind and affectionate to one another.We can see and feel this duty.We ought to be very careful always to observe it.
