The Dog & the wolf

Morale of the Story: " Better starve free than be a fat slave. "

A gaunt Wolf was almost dead with hunger once went to a city and there he happened to meet a House-dog who was passing by.

Seeing the wolf the dog said,"Ah, Cousin,How are you . You look quite week and pale.Why don't  you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly ?"

"I would have no objection," said the Wolf, "if I could only get a place." The dog said that I will arrange for you, "Come with me to my master and you shall share my work."

So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the town together. On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the Dog's neck was very much worn away, so he asked him how that had come about. "Oh, it is nothing," said the Dog. "That is only the place where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it chafes* a bit, but one soon gets used to it."

"Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then good-bye to you, Master Dog."

The End

* Chafes:- to rub so as to wear away
