The Dog and the Physician

A dog that had witnessed a physician attending the burial of a wealthy patient spoke up, asking, "When do you expect to dig it up?"

The physician, puzzled by the question, replied, "Why should I dig it up?"

The dog then explained, "When I bury a bone, it is with the intention of uncovering it later to enjoy it again."

The physician thoughtfully responded, "The bones that I bury are those that I can no longer pick."
