THE WOLF AND THE CRANE

A Wolf had a bone stuck in his throat, and could not cough it up. He

called the Crane, and said to him:

"Crane, you have a long neck. Thrust your head into my throat and draw

out the bone! I will reward you."

The Crane stuck his head in, pulled out the bone, and said:

"Give me my reward!"

The Wolf gnashed his teeth and said:

"Is it not enough reward for you that I did not bite off your head when

it was between my teeth?"
