Geographic: Ancient Greece; Brussels; Belgium
Description: A blacksmith who worked from morning until the end of the day, had a dog who used the same time to sleep; this silly animal reproached his master for letting him die of hunger, while he was doing work. The blacksmith, sick of hearing such a reproach, hit him with a stick, saying, You poor thing, do you think I have to feed you if you don't do anything?
