The Wise Dog.
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 company 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."
- Kahlil Gibran, The Definitive.
