"THE WISE DOG"
One day there passed by a company of cats a wise dog. 

And as he came near and saw that they were very intent and heeded him
not, he stopped. Then there arose in the midst of the comapny a large,
grave cat and looked upon them and said, "Brethren, pray ye; and when
you have prayed again and yet again, nothing doubting, verily then it
shall rain mice." 

And when the dog heard this he laughed in his heart and turned from
them saying, "O blind and foolish cats, has it not been written and have I
not known and my fathers before me, that that which raineth for prayer
and faith and supplication is not mice but bones."
