A Wolf was worried and badly bitten by dogs, and lay a long time for dead.
By and by he began to revive, and, feeling very hungry, called out to a passing Sheep and said, “Would you kindly bring me some water from the stream close by? I can manage about meat, if only I could get something to drink.”
But this Sheep was no fool.
“I can quite understand,” said he, “that if I brought you the water, you would have no difficulty about the meat. Good morning.”
