The foolish wolf
There was an old wolf, who was toothless and going to die . He was so old that he couldn’t move very fast. One day , he was going out to look for some food in the field. He saw a horse eating grass in the field. He walked up to the horse, and said to him : “Little horse , I’m going to eat you .”“Oh, you old wolf, how can you eat me , you haven’t got any teeth.”“Er, teeth , I have many of them .”“If you are telling the truth, just show me your teeth.” The wolf opened his mouth to the horse. The horse went up and picked him on the lip. After that , he quickly ran off.
“Oh , my goodness.”the wolf cried out and then he lost his consciousness. When he came to himself, he felt even more hungry. So he walked on in the forest. Then he came across a tailor. The tailor seemed to be very happy. He was singing and shaking his iron ruler. The wolf stood in the way and said to him.“Tailor ,come here , I’m going to eat you.” The tailor looked at him and said “well,no problem. But let me measure. Your belly first. See if there is enough room. For me in your stomach. ”“OK, just do it.” The wolf said. “But be quick. I’m too humgry. I can’t wait any longer.” The tailor went to the back of the wolf. Grasped his tail and hit him on the back with his iron ruler.”“You bad wolf. Now can you eat me.” The wolf cried and struggled. And then he strugged off. But his tail was broken.
He walked on slowly. Licking his wounds. Then he saw a lamb.“It can be my lunch.” He thought. “Lamb, Lamb, I want to eat you.”“Oh! Come on, you just stay at the foot of the mountain and open your mouth, I’ll run into your mouth. ” So the wolf stood there with his mouth open. The lamb rushed down to him, and hit the wolf on the head heavily. Then the wolf fell down. And the lamb ran away. After a while, the wolf came to himself again. He asked himself “Have I swallowed the lamb yet? If I have, I should be full now. But I’m hungry. I must have been cheated by him.” He was sad and angry. But syill he had to go on looking for food. When he felt there was some meat under the tree , quickly he rushed to it. But ufortunately, he was trapped. |
