One day there passed by a company of cats a wise dog. <br /> <br />And as he came near and saw that they were very intent and heeded <br />him not, he stopped. <br /> <br />Then there arose in the midst of the company a large, grave cat and <br />looked upon them and said, 'Brethren, pray ye; and when ye have <br />prayed again and yet again, nothing doubting, verily then it shall <br />rain mice.' <br /> <br />And when the dog heard this he laughed in his heart and turned from <br />them saying, 'O blind and foolish cats, has it not been written and <br />have I not known and my fathers before me, that that which raineth <br />for prayer and faith and supplication is not mice but bones.'<br /><br />Khalil Gibran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wise-dog/
