An adaptation from an Aesop Fable.
An adaptation from an Aesop Fable.
A wolf and a dog went out for a
walk.
The Dog said to the Wolf,
"Brother wolf, you look so thin! How can you be happy when you are so
thin? You should come live with me and my master. I eat everyday and I never
want for food."
The wolf thought for a moment and
replied, "Yes, you are probably right. Why should I be out here in the
wild scrounging for food when someone else will give it to me? And you are so
well fed. It is decided, I will come to live with you."
"Good," said the dog,
"then follow me."
As the dog walked ahead, the wolf
saw that there was a spot around the dog’s neck where the fur had been worn
off.
"Brother Dog, " asked the
wolf, "why do you have that patch around your neck where there is no
fur?"
The dog slowed down, stopped and
turned to the wolf with sadness in his eyes.
"That is where they place the
leather leash around my neck every night. They do this so they can control me
and keep me in my place while they sleep." replied the Dog, none too
eagerly.
"Never!" said the wolf as
he began to trot back into the forest. "I would rather be starving and
free than to be fat and a slave."
And with that the Wolf vanished back
into the forest.
