The wolf story

In the early hours, there was a big wolf in the moonlight. When they arrived at the pond, the water was still dry, and there was a lot of mud, fish, and lobster. The wolf saw and was glad to think that "Today I have a greater good, which is more strange than today."

And the wise man said unto the wolf, Therefore said unto the wolf: Behold, we are all fed up of the wolf: We are muddy, you eat us mud, so it is not good to eat. " he wolf replied, "How is this delicious?" . He replied, "Let the wolves wash us, and cleanse us." The wolf said, "How much can be washed?" "Wolf, don't worry, I assure you, but you must follow me." The wolf answered, "Why are you following me?" He said, "Come on, let's sleep in the mire, and we will cling to you. Wherever you bring us to the river, where there is plenty of fresh water, you wash us and enjoy yourself. As you will. The wolves are greedy, and fools follow the plight. And the fish and the fishes conspired against the wolves; and it came to pass, that, when they were come unto the lake, a great and deep water was washed, 

The dolphin jumped into the water and said, "Wolf Wolf, you have to come first and eat enough. Wait for you here. The wolves went to transport the fish and the shrimp until they were all out. The crabs, the snails, know that the wolves are gone, and they are diving in the water. And the wolf, knowing that the lion was deceived, and was angry with them, went forth, pursuing a great and small beast, and a great elephant, and a great lion, and every beast of the field; Not much of the birds were left in the lake, and it was dried up and caught fish. They made the serpent his nest, and the birds of the sky moved. Lake animals know that wolves are scattering water And they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another,

What shall we do to these men, that we may not release them? “I heard,” he said, “that you were a wise man, and that you would handle men and animals. And so I'm going to ask the rabbit to come and console us. ” The fish think of each other and then use the crocodile to invite the rabbit. The crocodile fishes until the day is dry; The bunny came out and saw the donkey, and he asked, "Where are you going?" The crocodile saw the rabbit and was glad, pleading with the rabbit, "pity me" for all the fish in the lake used. I came to invite you to the apothecary, for I have heard that you are wise, and will give you comfort, if you will. Wherever you are distressed, you always go to comfort them 

Now there are buffalos, bulls, rhinoceros, reptiles, swine, pigs, big snakes, small snakes, and birds of prey, crabs, snails, turtles, turtles, ravens, all the wolves. The dried lake water will catch all the turtles eating their own fish from the lake. If so, Sophe rabbit, pity for the relief of my brothers from this scare, will soon become famous. We will thank you, Rabbit We do not forget to multiply and die. And when the rabbit heard the sound of the fowls, he said unto them, Ye shall not go away, till ye have sent me away, saying, Fear not; I will help you, and don't worry. ” And the fishes returned to the hare, and behold, in the morning, behold, the birds were casting out And he took the leaf in leaf, and did eat; All of you listen to me; for the Lord has sent me to tell you, Trim your legs, chop off the dog's head, pull out the ivory. ” All the animals heard that the Indra letter was so terrified that a trophy of elephants, buffaloes, rhinoceros crawled to the top of the python. A separate dam in two halves The spillway was dead. And they became food for the fish. And from that day forward all the beasts feared the wisdom of the seers, and they became the teachers of the law.
