Your duty is to save this house from thieves. Now you start barking loudly, so that the owner wakes up.
The dog said, Donkey brother! Don't tell me my duty I guard the house day and night, yet the owner does not pay any attention to me.
So let the owner suffer a little loss, so that he may know my worth. The donkey angrily said to the dog, Cheater! You are very salty.
The dog said, are you very loyal to the owner? Both the master and the servant should take care of their respective duties.
When he doesn't pay attention to me then why should I pay attention to him. He takes great care of you. You wake him up.
