The Dog and the Sow

The Dog and the Sow (V. S. Vernon Jones's Version)

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."
