[Enter the WOLF. He comes down the bank to drink.]
MAN. Wolf, I would question thee.
WOLF (gruffly). Well?
MAN. How dost thou repay the one who doth thee a favor?
WOLF (gruffly, as before). By doing him a wrong.
[The Wolf drinks and goes.]
ALLIGATOR. Ha, ha, ha! Just what I said! Now I shall eat thee forthwith!
MAN. I can't believe that every animal would so answer.
ALLIGATOR. I don't intend waiting for thee to find out.
