"The Dog in the Manger and Other Fables" by Victoria Parker presents a collection of classic tales that impart valuable lessons through engaging narratives. One notable story, "The Dog in the Manger," tells of a dog who lies in a manger, preventing the oxen from eating the hay, even though he has no use for it himself. The fable illustrates the folly of jealousy and selfishness, revealing how some individuals may deny others their needs simply out of spite. Parker’s retelling captures the essence of these timeless morals, encouraging readers to reflect on their own behaviors and the impact on others.
