NAME:
A Wolf prowling near a village one night met a Dog. He happened to be a very thin and bony Dog, and Mestre Lobo would have turned his nose up at such meager food if he hadn't been hungrier than usual. Then he began to approach, while the Dog walked away.
"Let me remind Your Excellency," said the Dog, his words interrupted from time to time, as he dodged a snap of the Wolf's teeth, "how unpleasant it would be to eat me now." Look at my ribs. I'm nothing but skin and bone. But let me tell you one thing in particular. In a few days, my master will throw a wedding feast for his only daughter. You can imagine how thin and fat I will grow from table scraps. Then it will be time for his meal.
The Wolf couldn't help thinking how nice it would be to have a fat Dog to eat instead of the skeletal object before him. So he was pulling his belt and promising to come back.
A few days later, Lobo returned to the promised party. He found the Dog in his master's yard and asked him to come out and have his meal.
- Sir - said the Dog, with a smile - I will be honored to be your meal. I'll be out as soon as the doorman opens the door.
But the "gatekeeper" was a huge Dog who the Wolf knew, from painful experience, to be very cruel to wolves. So he decided not to wait and took off running as fast as his legs would allow him.
