The Two Dogs.

Two dogs one day went lion limiting, one of them being a smart do ?, with a classical education and the other being very ignorant and unsophist cated. Pretty soon they struck the tra k of the lion, and the educated dog started oft’ in the direction of #he royal beast, wli.le his ignorant companion, mak ng an absurd mistake, took the back track and started olf in the opposite direction. In a few minutes the educated dog was servin as an inanimate free lunch for an enormous lion, while the ignorant dog escaped unhurt. Moral: Th s fable teaches that classical lore should be plentifully sprinkled with practical knowledge.
