Aesop's Fables: The Dog and the Wolf
A Wolf was almost dead with
JXUwMDMwJXUwMDFkJXUwMDFiJXUwMDA5JXUwMDAyJXUwMDE3
when he happened to meet a
JXUwMDMwJXUwMDA3JXUwMDFhJXUwMDA2JXUwMDE2JXUwMDQ4JXUwMDQ5JXUwMDBiJXUwMDA4
who was passing by. "Ah, Cousin," said the Dog. "I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?"
"I would have no objection," said the
JXUwMDBmJXUwMDM4JXUwMDAzJXUwMDBh
, "if I could only get a place."
"I will easily arrange that for you," said the Dog; "come with me to my
JXUwMDM1JXUwMDBjJXUwMDEyJXUwMDA3JXUwMDExJXUwMDE3
and you shall share my
JXUwMDJmJXUwMDE4JXUwMDFkJXUwMDE5
."
So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the
JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFiJXUwMDE4JXUwMDE5
together. On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the Dog's
JXUwMDM2JXUwMDBiJXUwMDA2JXUwMDA4
was very much worn away, so he asked him how that had come about.
"Oh, it is nothing," said the Dog. "That is only the place where the
JXUwMDNiJXUwMDBjJXUwMDAzJXUwMDAwJXUwMDBkJXUwMDEz
is put on at night to keep me chained up; it hurts a little, but one soon gets used to it."
"Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then
JXUwMDNmJXUwMDA4JXUwMDAwJXUwMDBiJXUwMDQ5JXUwMDRmJXUwMDFiJXUwMDFj
to you, Master Dog."
Better starve free than be a
JXUwMDNlJXUwMDA3JXUwMDE1
slave.
