A WOLF saw a Goat feeding at the top of a steep precipice, where he
could not reach her.
“My dear friend,” said the Wolf, “be careful! I am afraid you will fall
and break your neck. Do come down to the meadow, where the grass is
fresh and green.”
“Are you very hungry?” said the Goat. “And is it your dinner time? And
would you like to eat me? I think I will not go down to the meadow
to-day, thank you.”
And she capered contentedly about on the edge of the rock, as safe from
falling as she was from the greedy Wolf with his false care for her.
