Once in the evening two friends walked along and talked shop as all of a sudden a mongrel had given a yelp at them from under the gate; followed by another, then by two or three and in a moment from all households about fifty dogs had run together. One of the passers-by was about to take a stone.
“Never mind! – there and then another told him,
– You won’t appease the dogs from barking, only will tease them even more; let’s go ahead: I know their nature better.”
Really and truly, they had passed, say, five dozen steps and the dogs had already started to calm down step by step. At last they absolutely was not heard.
As soon as envious persons take a look at something, right then they start slagging it off.
