The Dog and the Wolf

The Dog and the Wolf

A gaunt Wolf was gaunt dead with hunger when he happened

to meet a House-dog who was passing by. ‘Ah, Cousin,’ said the Dog. ‘I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?’ ‘I would have no objection,’ said the Wolf, ‘if I could only get a place.’ ‘I will easily arrange that for you,’ said the Dog; ‘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.’ Better starve free than be a fat slave.

Summarize the paragraph

The wolf was very hungry, so a dog saw him and a conversation took place between them, so the dog called the wolf to work with him at his master to get food, so the wolf agreed and went with the dog. The wolf while walking noticed that the hair of a certain part of the dog’s neck had eaten, so he asked him about the reason for that, then the dog said; Because of the chains that are placed on his neck. The wolf said to him: ((It is better to live with hunger and I am free than to live fat and tied)

To Dog : Hello wolf

A wolf : You see, his movement is weak, my feet are torn, and I am starving

To Dog : Do you want to live a comfortable life? 

A wolf : Yes, yes, where, when and how 

To Dog : Come with me and I will take you to my master

A wolf : Come on but who is your master? Is it an animal or something?

To Dog : No, he is the master of mankind, and he brings me water and feeds me early in the morning and evening

A wolf : A wolf immediately stopped and said, "Go alone, if they see me, they will kill me, for I am a predator."

To Dog : No, no, just act calmly and rationally and don't hurt

A wolf : No, you say this, but it will kill me, and I will not go with you, no matter what

To Dog : Well as you like, but you lose
