There once lived in Switzerland an old Count, who had an only son; but he was very stupid, and could learn nothing. So his father said to him: 'Listen to me, my son. I can get nothing into your head, try as hard as I may. You must go away from here, and I will hand you over to a renowned Professor for a whole year. ' At the end of the year he came home again, and his father asked: 'Now, my son, what have you learnt?'
'Father, I have learnt the language of dogs.'
