One day there passed by a company of cats a wise dog.
And as he came near and saw that they were very intent and heeded him not, he stopped.
Then there arose in the midst of the comapny a large, grave cat and looked upon them and said, "Brethren, pray ye; and when ye have prayed again and yet again, nothing doubting, verily then it shall rain mice."
And when the dog heard this he laughed in his heart and turned from them saying, "O blind and foolish cats, has it not been written and have I not known and my fathers before me, that that which raineth for prayer and faith and supplication is not mice but bones."

It's a criticision for Religions with their unlimited sects.
Lebanese-born american writer Gibran Khalil Gibran, he means that each sect of any religion and each religion says always that it has the true faith and its hooly books are right and the other are wrong, oh how pity are those who don't believe in our books, oh they don't know the right way the right faith the real prophet the real God, oh we must save them from their stupidity we must feel sorry on them .....etc.

The wise dog was right, prayer without foot work yields naught. As the story goes, two hungry men prayed for fish, one weaved a net and caught his fill, the other sat at the side of the lake and prayed, he starved. Does it not say that God helps those that helps themselves?

Another cat servant here, but I get along with dogs as well. Great explanation of how some view one side of the coin but not the other and only a few of us stand it up on the edge.

As someone who is a servant to cats, I found this not funny at all. Officially.
::covert whisper:: Well written.

It does bring to mind....
The Dog looks at his master and thinks, "You love me, care for me, provide for me, teach me. You must be God."
The Cat looks at his person and thinks, "You love me, care for me, provide for me, entertain me. I must be God."

Thou has received a hearty "Amen, brother! Preach it plain!" from the German shepherd-ish sort who abideth in this household.
