To ask Jesus to help her, the woman offers a story or illustration based on the parable that Jesus told in 15:26.

If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate that this is a story with a specific message, or you could explain what the parable means. Alternate translation: [and here is a similar story: the little dogs eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their masters] or [for also the little dogs eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their masters. That is what helping me would be like]
