Fable
The Mother and The Wolf
Early one morning a hungry Wolf was prowling
around a cottage at the edge of a village, when he heard a child crying in the
house. Then he heard the Mother's voice say:
"Hush,
child, hush! Stop your crying, or I will give you to the Wolf!"
Surprised
but delighted at the prospect of so delicious a meal, the Wolf settled down
under an open window, expecting every moment to have the child handed out to
him. But though the little one continued to fret, the Wolf waited all day in
vain. Then, toward nightfall, he heard the Mother's voice again as she sat down
near the window to sing and rock her baby to sleep.
"There,
child, there! The Wolf shall not get you. No, no! Daddy is watching and Daddy
will kill him if he should come near!"
Just
then the Father came within sight of the home, and the Wolf was barely able to
save himself from the Dogs by a clever bit of running.
