Once, there was a dog that had taken rest in a manger filled with hay. When an ox approached the manger to eat the hay, the dog growled and barked, preventing the ox from having any of it.
Despite having no interest in the hay, the dog was unwilling to share it with the ox. This continued for some time until the ox gave up and left the manger empty-handed.
The dog, however, remained in the manger and continued to lie on the hay, even though it couldn't eat it. The dog was determined not to let anyone else have it.
Eventually, the owner of the manger noticed what was happening and scolded the dog for its selfish behavior, saying, "You have no use for the hay, yet you are stopping others from having it. Don't prevent others from having what you don't need!"
Feeling ashamed, the dog left the manger, allowing other animals to eat the hay.
Once upon a time, there was a dog who went to sleep in a manger full of hay. When an ox came to the manger to eat some hay, the dog growled and barked loudly. The ox was scared and couldn't eat any hay.
The dog didn't want to eat the hay either, but it didn't want the ox to have any. This went on for some time until the ox finally walked away, still hungry.
The dog stayed in the manger, lying on the hay it didn't need. It didn't want to share with anyone.
After a while, the farmer who owned the manger saw what was happening. He scolded the dog for being selfish. He said, "You don't need the hay, but you won't let others have it. You shouldn't stop others from using what you don't need!"
Feeling ashamed, the dog left the manger. Now, the other animals could finally eat the hay.
There is a dog. The dog sees some dry grass and lies on it. This grass is food for animals. An ox comes to eat the grass, but the dog barks at the ox. The ox is scared and leaves.
The dog does not eat the grass. But it does not let the ox eat it. Each time the ox tries to come near the grass, the dog barks. The ox cannot eat the grass.
The owner comes and sees the dog. He is not happy. He says, "Dog, you do not eat the grass. But you do not let others eat it. This is not good!"
The dog feels bad. It leaves the grass. Now, the ox and other animals can eat the grass.

Once upon a time, in a cozy barn filled with hay, there was a dog who thought he'd found the perfect spot for a nap. "Ah, this hay is just right! Comfy and cozy, like pajamas for my fur," he thought.
Now, along came an ox, who looked at the hay and said, "Yum! Dinner time!" But the dog quickly growled, "No, no, no! This is my bed, not your snack!"
The ox tilted his head, confused, "But you don't eat hay, do you?"
The dog wagged his tail and said, "Eat it? No way! But I like to sleep on it. It's like a big, scratchy blanket!"
The ox tried to reason with the dog, "But I'm hungry, and you're lying on my dinner!"
The dog barked back, wagging his tail, "Oh no, you don't! You'll have to find something else. This hay is mine, all mine! It's my fluffy bed, like sleeping on a cloud made of noodles!"
The ox tried and tried, but the dog wouldn't budge. He was as stubborn as a ticklish turtle. The ox left the manger, still hungry, and the dog chuckled to himself, "That'll show him!"
Eventually, the owner of the manger noticed what was happening and said to the dog, "You silly pup! You don't need this hay, so why not share? It's like having a mountain of toys and not letting anyone play with them!"
The dog's ears went floppy, and he realized he'd been a bit selfish. Feeling sorry, he said, "You're right. I don't need all this hay. Sharing is like giving a big, happy hug!"
And with that, the dog left the manger, and the other animals were free to eat the hay.
With a wag and a bark in a farmyard one day,
Lay a dog in a manger where bundles of hay,
Were stored for the oxen, their dinner and meal,
But the dog found the manger a comfortable steal.
Up came an ox with a hunger and thirst,
To the hay in the manger it wandered at first,
But the dog with a growl and a menacing glare,
Told the ox, "You won't eat any hay from there!"
"But why?" asked the ox, with a puzzled frown,
"You can't eat the hay, won't you let me chow down?"
But the dog wouldn't budge, it refused to comply,
"Though I don't eat the hay, you won't get it, oh my!"
Day after day, the scene was the same,
The dog and the ox, in this selfishness game,
The ox would come hungry, the dog would say "Nay!",
And the ox would leave, empty and sullen each day.
But a farmer, the owner, a wise man indeed,
Saw what was happening, took careful heed,
He scolded the dog with a stern voice and eye,
"You don't need the hay, why make the ox cry?"
Ashamed and embarrassed, the dog slunk away,
Leaving the manger and bundles of hay,
The ox could now eat, and the farm was at peace,
And the selfish old dog had caused trouble to cease.
