There was once a Dog who was so ill-natured and mischievous that
his Master had to fasten a heavy wooden clog about his neck to
keep him from annoying visitors and neighbors. But the Dog seemed
to be very proud of the clog and dragged it about noisily as if
he wished to attract everybody's attention. He was not able to
impress anyone.

"You would be wiser," said an old acquaintance, "to keep quietly
out of sight with that clog. Do you want everybody to know what a
disgraceful and ill-natured Dog you are?"

Notoriety is not fame.
