THE HORSE AND THE WOLF

THE HORSE AND THE WOLF

WHEN IT IS SPRINGTIME,HORSES LEAVE THEIR STABLES AND SPEND MORE TIME OUT IN THE OPEN.

THAT IS WHEN A HUNGRY WOLF ROAMING AROUND CHANCED TO SEE A LOVELY HORSE.

BUT,AS THE HORSE WAS TOO BIG FOR THE WOLF TO KILL ON HIS OWN,HR DECIDED TO TRY AND TRICK HIM,INSTEAD.

"MY FRIEND,"HE SAID,"I KNOW ALL THE FLOWERS AND PLANTS IN THIS MEADOW AND THE CURES WHICH THESE CAN WORK.IF YOU EVER HAVE ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU,JUST TELL ME AND I' ll PUT YOU RIGHT ! "
BUT THE HORSE KNEW VERY WELL THAT THE WOLF WAS TRYING TO TRICK HIM.
" AS A MATTER OF FACT," HE SAID, " THERE IS A THORN UNDER MY SHOE AND IT'S VERY PAINFUL! DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HELP ME?"

THE WOLF COULD NOT BELIEVE HIS LUCK!"WHY,OF COURSE,MY FRIEND,"HE SAID,COMING FORWARD."I'll SOON HAVE YOU FEELING BETTER ! " AND HE BEND DOWN,PRETENDING TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE HORSE'S HOOF,AND-WHAM! THE HORSE GAVE THAT WOLF SUCH A BLOW , RIGHT ON HIS HAIRY CHIN!

" IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY,"GROANED THE WOLF,NURSING HIS BROKEN CHIN.
"EVERYBODY HAS THEIR STRONG POINT. IF ONLY I HAD LISTENED TO MY FATHER AND KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT, I WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD A TASTE OF MY OWN MEDICINE!"
