The Dog and the Wolf

A hungry wolf met a fat dog on the road. They stopped and greeted each other. Then the wolf said:

"Dear friend, you look very well and you are so fat. Please tell me how you manage to live so much better than I do.

I look for food from morning to night and still I often go to bed hungry". "Oh", said the dog. "I guard my master's house and he gives - me good food and drink. I have a warm little house in the yard. If you come to the village with me and do the same, you will live as comfortably as I do".

The wolf was very pleased to hear this and agreed to go with the dog to the village. So they turned and went to the nearest cottage. Suddenly the wolf stopped and said: " I see a bare place on your neck, friend, what is it?"

"Oh, that's nothing", said the dog, "it is the mark of my collar. You see the master ties me up sometimes. Why are you turning away?' .

"No, I am not going with you, my friend said the wolf, "I won't lose my freedom for good food. It's better to live in the forest and suffer from hunger and cold than wear a collar. Keep your happiness to yourself, I want to be free".
