The Wolf and The Crane

The Wolf and The Crane































The Wolf was having fish for lunch, when suddenly


a tiny bone got stuck in his throat.

























The Wolf tried to swallow it but he couldn’t. It

started hurting so terribly that the wolf couldn’t


bear the pain any longer. He ran out to look for


help.

First, he met a Bear. “I would give you anything if


you help me take out the bone”, the wolf said. But

the Bear’s paw was too big and he couldn’t help.






























Then, the Wolf saw his friend Fox. “Please, Fox, I’m


in a great pain. If you help me take the bone out,

I will give you whatever you want.” The Fox told


the Wolf to open his mouth but the bone was


stuck too deep in his throat and he couldn’t reach


it.

Next, the Wolf met a Crane. “Crane, my friend, I


would give you anything if you took out the bone

that is stuck in my throat.”






























The Crane made the Wolf open his mouth as wide


as he could and quickly took out the bone from

inside the Wolf’s throat.

“You promised to give me anything if I helped


you”, said the Crane...





























... but the Wolf just grinned and said “You received


your gift already. You put your head inside a


Wolf’s mouth. You are still alive and that is the

biggest gift I could give you.”

Moral: Expect no reward for serving the one


who has no honour. Staying in a company of


selfish people will not do anyone any favour.
