...Behold, there came through the gates of the city a dog trainer from far off, and it came to pass as the days went by, that he trained his dog plenty... ...And in that city were laggards and complainers, they spent their days in adding to their alibi sheets. Mightily they were astonished at the performance of the stranger's dog. They said to one another, "What the heck, how doth he do it? He must have an easy dog to train."... ...And it came to pass that many were gathered and a soothsayer came among them, a very wise man. And they questioned him thusly, "How is it that this stranger has such a well trained dog?"
