A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.
This is a saying by the great writer Jack London, I just really love it.
Jack London is one of those people who really influenced me in the beginning of my life, perhaps the only Novel I read for him was The Iron Heel translated in Arabic in the name of (العَقِب الحديدية). It was written in 1907, it discusses some events that Jack London predicts that would happen, it's as some kind of story was found in after about 600 years from now, and then he starts reading it with commenting in it as it was really written in that age, the story begins in 1912, as to discuss the situation that lead to the Big Chicago Commune, which he predicts that this would be the first movement against the American Oligarch (which is type of an aggressive Capitalism) against the Labor.
This Story had really influenced me, as it was considered the Bible of the Socialism. That's because of the discussions which were in the story, They were the best discussions I ever saw, I really recommend this story.
These days I'm looking for another books for this writer, I found some of the on the Internet, but now I have to find time to read them.
I hope you could read the story, in Arabic or in English, it is really a good one.
