(A donkey was eating
grass in a meadow when he saw a wolf coming towards him. Thinking quickly, he
started to limp pretending he was hurt)
The Wolf :
(The wolf came closer and asked the
Donkey) My friend, I am sorry to see you are injured. Tell me what happened
to your leg?
The Donkey : I was very careless this morning. I jumped through a hedge and
stepped on a thorn. You should pull it out before you eat me. (The Donkey warned The Wolf). So you don’t
prick your mouth.
The
Wolf : I’ll try (The Wolf answered him). Just hold still
while I look for it.
(But as soon as the
wolf lifted the injured hoof, the donkey kicked him in the face, knocking out
many of his teeth. The donkey ran away as the wolf rolled on the ground in pain)
The Wolf :
(The wolf felt very silly for being
tricked so easily). Oh well, I got what I deserved. My father taught me
hours to hunt for a living, not how to take care of others. (The Wolf said to himself)
