There was a boy who did not like to take good care of his dog which became very dirty and full of ticks. The ticks irritated and disgusted the boy even more, which resulted in him wanting to care for his dog even less. One day he kicked his dog out of the way, and that night he dreamt of the dog saying to him,
"How can you blame me for having ticks when you are the one not taking care of me? I am suffering from their bites and irritation everyday, and still, you despise me for your negligence. They have caused me sleepless nights and blood and tears, and I hate them more than you do!" And the complains went on for a while longer until the dog fell asleep and dreamt of a tick saying,
"How can you blame us for living on you and sucking your blood when you don't keep yourself clean and continue to let us feed on you? If we didn't have you to feed on, we might have gone somewhere nicer to live in. We might have grown wings and flown away."
