Once upon a time, there lived a beggar who had a dog. People often looked at him sideways and whispered quietly: “He doesn’t even have enough to eat himself, and yet he still feeds a dog.”
A wise man was passing by and asked his disciples what they thought of this beggar. They all began to say the same as the others: “What does he need a dog for!?”
But the wise man said to his disciples: “I see a man who longs to be loved and accepted. It is clear that people have denied him that.”
