I HAD known Medor a long time ; I was young, and he still younger, when we became acquainted and formed mutual and inalterable attachment. I was then living miserably with those wretched farmers who had bought me from a dealer in donkeys, and from whom I escaped so cleverly. I was quite thin, for really they never gave me enough to eat. Medor (presented to them as a good watch dog, and afterwards proving himself a superb hunting dog) fared better than I ; he amused the chil- dren, who often gav...e him bread and scraps of their meals ; moreover, as he acknowledged to me himself, whenever it was possible, he used to slip into the dairy with the mis- tress or servant, where he was always sure to find some means of lapping a little milk or cream, and seizing the particles of butter which fell from the churn. Medor was kind ; my lean, miserable appearance excited his pity, and one day he brought me a piece of bread, pre- senting it with a most triumphant air. " Eat, my poor friend, " said he, in his language, " I have bread enough given me for my own sustenance, and you, you have only thistles and poor grass, and hard]y enough of these to keep you alive.
