The Wolf and the Crane 8

A wolf who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a crane,
for a large, to put her head into his mouth and pull out the

bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded

the promised payment, the wolf, grinning and grinding his

teeth, said, “Why, I have already given you a better payment

than. I have allowed you to safely pull your head out of the
mouth of a wolf.”

The Moral

In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if

you escape injury for your pains.
