The Two Dogs
<µ¿¿µ»óº¸·¯°¡±â>
Description:
A tame dog and a free dog meet, and the free dog
envies the tame dog's well-fed life. However, when the free dog learns the tame
dog is tied to a rope during the day, he rejects the idea of being fed in
exchange for losing his freedom, choosing to stay free even if it means being
thin. The fable highlights the trade-off between comfort and freedom.

Transcription:
Once upon a time, two dogs met. One of them was a tame
dog who made his home with men. One was a dog who ran free.
The dog who ran free stared at the tame dog and said,
¡°Why is it that you are so plump and I am so thin?¡±
¡°Well,¡± said the tame dog, ¡°I am plump because the men
feed me. I do not have to run all the time to get my food. My job is to keep
the home safe when the men are in their beds. When they wake
up,
they feed me scraps of food from their plates.¡±
¡°Your life must be a fine life,¡± said the thin dog. ¡°I
wish my life were like yours.¡± The plump dog said, ¡°If you will help me keep
the home safe, I bet the men will feed you, too.¡± ¡°I will do it!¡± said the thin
dog.
But just as the thin dog said this, the moon shone on
the neck of the plump dog. The thin dog said, ¡°What is that on your neck?¡±
¡°I am on a rope when the sun is up,¡± said the plump
dog.
¡°Rope?¡± said the thin dog. ¡°Do they keep you on a
rope?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± said the plump dog. ¡°When the moon is up, the
men let me run free, but when the sun shines, they keep me on a rope. I cannot
run and be free when the sun is up, but it is not so bad.¡±
¡°No, no!¡± said the thin dog, as he ran off. ¡°I will
not have a rope on my neck. You can be plump. I will be free!¡±

Questions:
1. What does the free dog's decision to remain free
despite being thin suggest about the value of freedom versus comfort?
2. How does the knowledge that the tame dog is tied up
during the day influence the free dog's perception of comfort and
security?
3. What moral lesson can be drawn from the free dog's
choice to prioritize freedom over material well-being?
