The Wolf and the Fox
A Fox is sitting on the road and eating fish. A Wolf is running
along the road; he sees the Fox. He is very hungry and asks the Fox to give him
some fish. But the Fox says, «Go to the river, catch a fish for yourself and
eat it».
«How can I catch a fish»? asks the Wolf. «It is winter. There is
ice on the river».
«Make a hole in the ice and put your tail into the water», says
the Fox. «The fish will bite your tail. Then pull your tail out of the hole,
and in this way you will have fish». So he goes to the river. He makes a hole
in the ice, sits down near it and puts his tail into the water.
The Fox goes away and laughs at the foolish Wolf.
The night passes, and the Wolf is still sitting on the ice.
In the morning many children come to the river. They see the Wolf
and make a great noise. The Wolf is very cold and afraid of the children.
He wants to pull his tail out of the hole, but he cannot! He pulls and pulls.
No result. At last he makes a very strong pull and runs away, but without his
tail.
