Episode Synopsis
Send us a textRon Reads presents Aesop's fable "The Dog in the Manger," exploring the timeless lesson about selfishly preventing others from enjoying what we ourselves cannot use. This brief yet profound tale reminds listeners of the human tendency to begrudge others' happiness even when it costs us nothing to share.• A dog takes a nap in an ox's manger, lying comfortably on the straw• When the hardworking ox returns and tries to eat, the dog aggressively prevents it• The dog has no use for the straw but barks and attempts to bite the ox• The frustrated ox eventually leaves hungry, unable to enjoy its rightful meal• The moral: "People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves"Please like, subscribe, share. Do all the things. Do what's right. Don't grudge others what you cannot enjoy yourself.Support the showhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2466013/support
