When Wolf had told him the news, Monkey asked, "What have you been doing to-day?"
"Oh," said Wolf, "I have been following a deer all the morning, but I have been unable to get near enough to kill him. Now I am faint with hunger."
"I can help you," said Monkey. "I have a magic bow and arrow. Show me the deer, and I will bring him down."
When Wolf showed him the deer, Monkey fitted an arrow to the bow and took aim. Hardly had the arrow left the bow when the deer fell dead.
Monkey and Wolf sat down and had a good feast. As Wolf ate, he thought of the magic bow and arrow, and he planned to get them away from Monkey.
"First I will ask for them," he said to himself. "If Monkey will not give them to me, I will use force."
When Wolf had finished eating, he said to Monkey, "Please give me the bow and arrow."
"I will not," said Monkey. "They were a present from my dear uncle; why should I give them to you?"
"Very well," said Wolf. "I am stronger than you, and I will take them by force."
