The Wolf And The Fox
A FOX, which had feasted on fowls to satiety, and had set aside a good store of spare food, lay down under a haycock, one evening, to sleep. Suddenly it looks up, and sees a hungry Wolf dragging itself along to pay it a visit.
“This is terrible, gossip !” says the Wolf ‘• I cannot anywhere find even the smallest of bones to pick, and I am actually dying of hunger. The dogs are malicious, the shepherd won’t sleep, and I have nothing left but to hang myself”
“Really?”
” Really and truly.”
” My poor old gossip ! But won’t you take a little hay ? There is a whole haycock. I am delighted to oblige my friend.”
But what its friend wanted was meat, not hay; and about its stock of provisions the Fox said never a word. So my grey-coated hero, though greatly caressed as to its ears by its gossip, had to go to bed supperless.
