ADVENTURE VI
THE FOX’S SERVANT
A day or so later the Fox met Pekka, the Wolf. The Fox hadn’t seen much of Pekka recently for Pekka had been having a hard time and had been on the verge of starvation. Now he was sleek again and well fed for he had recently killed an Ox.
“Good day, Pekka,” the Fox said in a friendly way.
“Good day, Mikko. How are you?”
“Very fine indeed!” the Fox said. “You see I have a new servant. Oh, he’s a wonderful servant! He’s not big to look at, you know, but he’s so strong and quick that he’d jump on you in a minute and eat you up before you knew what was happening!”
“Really, Mikko?”
“Yes, really! You just ought to see him!”
“I’d like to see him,” the Wolf said.
