“The Crumbs on the Table”
One day a countryman told his puppies to
get up on the table and eat up all the crumbs. But the puppies said no, if the
mistress caught them she’d beat them. The countryman said the mistress was out
and it was okay, but the puppies still said no. The countryman nagged them so
much, the puppies eventually got up on the table and ate the crumbs. That was
when the mistress came home and caught them. She beat them all and threw them
outside. The puppies said to the countryman, “Did you see what she did?” to
which he replied, “Didn’t you expect it?”

Did this couple never wipe off their table
or what?
I tried to figure out what the moral of
this story was. I came up with, even if someone reassures you that it’s okay,
you shouldn’t do something you know is wrong. I think that’s what this story is
about, it’s just hard to see that over the puppy beating.
