AT THE FARM HOUSE.
The next day the wolf and the fox again went into the forest and the greedy wolf said to the fox. “Get me something to eat right quick or I will eat you!” The fox said he knew of a farm house near by where the cook was going to make some pancakes that very day. So they turned and went there.
When they got there the sly fox crept up very quietly and entered the house. He sneaked around till he found where the dish was that held the pancakes. He then slyly drew out six of the cakes and took them to the wolf, saying, “Here is something for you to eat,” and ran away as before.
The wolf ate them and, in a minute or two, wishing to have more, he went into the house and tried to get some out of the dish. But he was so clumsy that he knocked the dish down. It fell with a loud crash and was broken in pieces. The noise alarmed the cook who came running out. When she saw the wolf she called the family. The farmer came and beat him with such good will that he ran home to the fox howling, and with two lame legs.
“What a fine place you have drawn me into now!” he cried. “The farmers have caught me again and dressed my skin till my bones cracked.” “Why, then, are you such a glutton?” asked the fox.
