A MAN who had been bitten by a Dog was told that the wound would
heal if he would dip a piece of bread in the blood and give it to
the Dog.  He did so.

  "No," said the Dog; "if I were to accept that, it might be thought
that in biting you I was actuated by improper¹ motives²."

  "And by what motives were you actuated?" asked the Man.

  "I desired," replied the Dog, "merely to harmonise myself with the
Divine Scheme of Things.  I'm a child of Nature."
