A Fair Face may hide a Foul Heart Story
A Fair Face may hide a Foul Heart
Once a hungry wolf was eating his prey. In order to finish it quickly, he swallowed big bite of flesh. A bone also went in and stuck into his throat. It hurt him very much. He decided to seek the help of a crane.
He requested the crane to pick out the bone from his throat. The crane was afraid lest, the wolf should bite off his head. But the wolf assured him of safety and also a big reward for this service.
At last, the crane agreed. It put its long beak into the throat of the wolf and pulled out the bone. The wolf felt very happy. The crane demanded the promised reward for the service.
The wolf at once said, “isn’t it a big reward that I have not bitten off your head when it could not escape my teeth?” The crane was disappointed at this. So, it went away cursing the cunning wolf.
Morals:
A wolf may lose its teeth but not its nature.
