伊索寓言：The Traveler and His Dog旅行者和他的狗 

A TRAVELER about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the door stretching himself. He asked him sharply: "Why do you stand there gaping? Everything is ready but you, so come with me instantly." The Dog, wagging his tail, replied: "O, master! I am quite ready; it is you for whom I am waiting." 

The loiterer often blames delay on his more active friend. 

一個人打點好了行裝準備出發。這時，他看見他的狗仍站在門口打呵欠，便嚴厲地對它說：“為什麼你還站在那裡打呵欠？一切準備妥當，只等你了，趕快跟我走吧！”狗搖著尾巴回答說：“主人！我早就準備好了，我等你等得都打呵欠了。” 

這是說有些人不檢點自己，還常常把過失歸咎於別人。
