What do you think of your race?
Is heaven reserved for it, and this dog ruled out, as your teachers tell you?
Can your race add anything to this dog's stock of morals and magnanimities ?" He spoke to the creature, who jumped up, eager and happy, and apparently ready for orders and impatient to execute them.

"Get some men; go with the dog--he will show you that carrion; and take a priest along to arrange about insurance, for death is near." With the last word he vanished, to our sorrow and disappointment.

We got the men and Father Adolf, and we saw the man die.

Nobody cared but the dog; he mourned and grieved, and licked the dead face, and could not be comforted.

We buried him where he was, and without a coffin, for he had no money, and no friend but the dog.
