THE WOLF AND THE CRANE

A Wolf once got a bone stuck in his throat. So he went to a Crane

and begged her to put her long bill down his throat and pull it

out. "I'll make it worth your while," he added. The Crane did as

she was asked, and got the bone out quite easily. The Wolf

thanked her warmly, and was just turning away, when she cried,

"What about that fee of mine?" "Well, what about it?" snapped the

Wolf, baring his teeth as he spoke; "you can go about boasting

that you once put your head into a Wolf's mouth and didn't get it

bitten off. What more do you want?"
