The Dog And The Wolf

---

A Dog fell asleep back of the yard. A Wolf ran up and wanted to eat him.

Said the Dog:

“Wolf, don’t eat me yet: now I am lean and bony. Wait a little,—my master is going to celebrate a wedding; then I shall have plenty to eat; I shall grow fat. It will be better to eat me then.”

The Wolf believed her, and went away. Then he came a second time, and saw the Dog lying on the roof. The Wolf said to her:

“Well, have they had the wedding?”

The Dog replied:

“Listen, Wolf! If you catch me again asleep in front of the yard, do not wait for the wedding.”
