Once upon a time, there was a man who loved to swear at his servants as he ate. When he got too excited, he would even throw his tableware. He did that even when eating at the local inn. The inn waiter often heard him swearing in public. Though the waiter felt that the man was very ill-mannered, he did not say anything out of politeness. 

One day, the man came to the inn, as usual, he began to swear as he ate. After he was done eating, the waiter gave him a dog and told him, “This dog catches small animals such as rabbits and birds. Though it is not a very rare or expensive gift, I hope that you like it. ” The man was happy to receive this gift and told his servants to take the dog home. 

When it was time to eat, he asked his servants to bring something for the dog to eat as well. Surprisingly, the dog also kept barking while it was eating, just like the man himself! And so, every time it was time to eat, the man kept swearing, and his dog kept barking. Finally, his servants could not hold back their laughter. It was only then that the man realized that the waiter gave him the dog to mock his bad manners.

從前有一個人，很喜歡一邊吃飯一邊罵他的僕人，罵到激烈時，還會摔餐具，就算在外面吃飯也是一樣。所以餐館的人常常聽到他罵人，感覺很討厭，但是只能忍著不說話。

有一天，這個人到餐館吃飯，照樣一邊吃一邊罵。吃完之後，餐館的人送了一隻狗給他，跟他說：「這隻狗會抓兔子、鳥兒等動物，雖然不是什麼很貴的禮物，但是希望您能收下。」這個人很高興，就要僕人牽著狗離開了。

又到了吃飯的時候了，他叫僕人拿些東西給狗吃。沒想到狗竟然也是一邊吃一邊大叫，這個人還是一樣，一邊吃一邊罵。所以每次吃飯時，都會看到人坐著罵，狗在桌下叫。最後，僕人終於忍不住笑出來了，他這才明白自己被餐館的人戲弄了，送狗給他的人是故意嘲諷他的。
