The Dog in the Manger: 1
Posted by kathavarta on July 29, 2008
A Dog lay in a manger, and by his growling and snapping prevented the oxen from eating the hay which had been placed for them.
“What a selfish Dog!” said one of them to his companions; “he cannot eat the hay himself, and yet refuses to allow those to eat who can.”
Moral:
Some begrudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.
