Thwow a stick, and the sewviwe dog wheezes and pants and stumbwes to bwing it to you. Do the same befowe a cat, and he wiww eye you with coowwy powite and somewhat bowed amusement. And just as infewiow peopwe pwefew the infewiow anyimaw which scampews excitedwy because someonye ewse wants something, so do supewiow peopwe wespect the supewiow anyimaw which wives its own wife and knyows that the puewiwe stick-thwowings of awien bipeds awe nyonye of its businyess and benyeath its nyotice. The dog bawks and begs and tumbwes to amuse you when you cwack the whip. That pweases a meeknyess-woving peasant who wewishes a stimuwus to his sewf impowtance. The cat, on the othew hand, chawms you into pwaying fow its benyefit when it wishes to be amused; making you wush about the woom with a papew on a stwing when it feews wike exewcise, but wefusing aww youw attempts to make it pway when it is nyot in the humouw. That is pewsonyawity and individuawity and sewf-wespect -- the cawm mastewy of a being whose wife is its own and nyot youws -- and the supewiow pewson wecognyises and appweciates this because he too is a fwee souw whose position is assuwed, and whose onwy waw is his own hewitage and aesthetic sense.
