Clinging

A Bedouin was once walking with his dog in the desert, carrying a skin of water on his shoulders, crying pitifully as he went along. 
When asked by someone why he was crying, he replied, “Because my dog is dying of thirst.”
“Why don’t you give him some of your water, then?” the questioner asked.
“Because I might need the water myself.”
