Yeah, he looks old and weak. I bet I’m faster than him. I can easily run away
from him.
Wolf: Stop there, little Rabbit! I’m going to catch you!
Rabbit: Go ahead and try! I bet you can’t catch me! I’m much faster than you.
Wolf: We’ll see about that!

Dog: What is it
Wolf: Well, I was wondering
Dog: Hurry up! I must get home before dark.
Wolf: Well, I was curious. You seem so healthy and well-fed. Where do you live
Dog: I live in a big house in the village. My master feeds me well.
Wolf: What does he feed you
Dog: Well, let me think. He feeds me everything from meat to candy. I live a
very comfortable life. But you look very sick and weak. Have you eaten
something today
Wolf: I haven’t eaten for three days. I can’t find food anywhere.
Dog: That’s too bad. If you come with me, you will be well-fed, too.
Wolf:Really! But what must I do there
Dog: It’s very simple. Just do what I do.
Wolf: What is that
Dog: First, chase away thieves. Second, bark at beggars. Third, wag your tail
in front of the master.
Wolf: Is that all
Dog: Yes. If you do a good job, you’ll be loved just like me. The master will
hug you and give you delicious treats
Wolf: I can’t believe it! It is too easy. I can do that.
Dog: Good. Then follow me. I will take you to my master.

Wolf: But the fur is worn there and the skin is red.
Dog: It’s nothing really. It’s just my chain mark.
Wolf: what do you mean You are chained
Dog: Well, yes, but only during the day.
Wolf: You can’t go wherever you want
Dog: It’s not too bad. Instead I don't worry about food.
