<p id="id00998">By Ramaswami Raju</p>
<p id="id00999">A FOX that lived by the seashore once met a 'Wolf that had never seen
the Sea. The Wolf said, "What is the Sea?"</p>
<p id="id01000">"It is a great piece of water by my dwelling," said the Fox.</p>
<p id="id01001">"Is it under your control?" said the Wolf.</p>
<p id="id01002">"Certainly," said the Fox.</p>
<p id="id01003">"Will you show me the Sea, then?" said the Wolf.</p>
<p id="id01004">"With pleasure," said the Fox. So the Fox led the Wolf to the Sea and
said to the waves, "Now go back"-they went back! "Now come up"- and
they came up! Then the Fox said to the waves, "My friend, the Wolf,
has come to see you, so you will come up and go back till I bid you
stop; and the Wolf saw with wonder the waves coming up and going back.</p>
<p id="id01005">He said to the Fox, "May I go into the Sea?"</p>
<p id="id01006">"As far as you like. Don't be afraid, for at a word, the Sea would go
or come as I bid, and as you have already seen."</p>
<p id="id01007">The Wolf believed the Fox, and followed the waves rather far from the
shore. A great wave soon upset him, and threw his carcass on the
shore. The Fox made a hearty breakfast on it.</p>
