Aesop's Fables: The Dog And The Sow

The Dog And The Sow

A Dog and a Sow were arguing and each claimed that its own young ones were finer than those of any other animal. "Well," said the Sow at last, "mine can see, at any rate, when they come into the world: but yours are born blind."


The moral of the story:
The best defence is a good offence.

  1. I don't understand this one. Is it that the sow is truly the blind one because she unlike the dog will be eaten one day? Is maybe the moral that mothers are sometimes blind to their kids faults?
