There was once a Dog who was very fond of eggs. He visited the hen house often and eventually became so greedy that he would swallow the eggs whole.

One day, the Dog wandered down to the seashore. There he spied an Oyster. In a twinkling, the Oyster was resting in the Dog's stomach, shell and all.

It pained the Dog a good deal, as you can guess.

"I've learned that all round things are not eggs," he said groaning.
