The Wolf and the Crane.A Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a largesum, to put her head into his throat and draw out the bone. When theCrane had extracted the bone, and demanded the promised payment, theWolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surelyalready a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw outyour head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a Wolf." In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escapeinjury for your pains. From Aesop's Fables |
