A Traveler about to set out on a journey saw his Dog

stand at the door stretching himself. He asked [the dog]

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.
