<h2>THE DOG AND THE WOLF</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Dog was lying in the sun before a farmyard gate when a Wolf
pounced upon him and was just going to eat him up; but he begged
for his life and said, "You see how thin I am and what a wretched
meal I should make you now: but if you will only wait a few days my
master is going to give a feast. All the rich scraps and pickings
will fall to me and I shall get nice and fat: then will be the time
for you to eat me." The Wolf thought this was a very good plan and
went away. Some time afterwards he came to the farmyard again, and
found the Dog lying out of reach on the stable roof. "Come down,"
he called, "and be eaten: you remember our agreement?" But the Dog
said coolly, "My friend, if ever you catch me lying down by the
gate there again, don't you wait for any feast."</p>
