Child's tale: A hunter and a dog

Not having this cowardly thing, he had become worthy of his master's complacencies and pleasures, by the ardor that he displayed in the fight against all kinds of beasts, even the most ferocious ones; but that robust and vigorous nature began to decline, without being hard with the weight of the years. He was scolded at such a time with a boar, and soon he was imprisoned in one ear; but he had to let go, because his teeth were already decayed.

Sense of it the hunter, he scolded the dog; and he, although old, answered bravely: "I do not lack thrust, but strength, praised me in another time for what it was worth, and now you despise me, because I am not even a shadow of what I was."

Well you understand, Fíleto, where these things that I write are sent and directed.

Moral:We should not despise the old that once helped us a lot.
