The Wolf and the Crane
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat
hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her
head into his mouth and draw out the bone.
When the Crane had extracted the bone and
demanded the promised payment, the Wolf,
grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed:
"Why, you have surely already had a sufficient
recompense, in having been permitted
to draw out your head in safety from the
mouth and jaws of a wolf." In serving the
wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if
you escape injury for your pains.
