\nA sage came to the royal court<\/strong>
\nThere with a thief fearful face<\/strong>
\nThe thief bowed his head, before the prince<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWhat is your sin<\/strong>
\nIt’s not my offense<\/strong>
\nIt’s only the dog’s misdeed<\/strong>
\nOnly the dog should be punished<\/strong>
\ncried the thief<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWhat’s wrong with a dog<\/strong>
\nWhen going to steal a house<\/strong>
\nI gave the dog a piece of bread<\/strong>
\nit; so happily ate the bread<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIt made louder noises, attention of the household<\/strong>
\nThe family woke up and arrested me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBlamed for the<\/strong>
\nSage smiled and said why dog support you<\/strong>
\nlater, the master blames and hits the dog<\/strong>
\nIt’s a faithful animal.<\/strong><\/p>\n
