Wolf
(A story for
children)
A wolf had not eaten for many
days. Poor fellow had failed to catch even a small rabbit.
Driven by hunger he
walked into a village. He thought that he would remain alert and cautious and try
to steal a goat or a sheep or a rooster to satisfy his hunger.
He sneaked into a house
and saw a goat in a corner. He was about to pounce on it when the goat said,
“Don’t even think of eating me. I am suffering from pneumonia. My lungs are
rotting. If you eat me you too will catch pneumonia and die. Why don’t you eat
the sheep that is in the next house? She is such a fat sheep.”
The wolf had never heard
of pneumonia. He got scared and ran away. He entered the next house. He saw a
sheep. He was crawling towards the sheep when it said, “Be careful of the
hounds; any moment they would be here. Be quick and hide somewhere; they are
real vicious hounds.”
Hunger was driving the
wolf mad. But he was too weak to face a pack of vicious hounds. He chose to
beat a hasty retreat. He went into another house and saw a big rooster.
The rooster looked at the
wolf and angrily shouted, “I know you are the witch that walks in the garb of a
wolf. My master has been looking for you. He wants to burn you alive. Let me
alert my master.”
The wolf ran for his life
lest he was caught and burnt alive. He was now disheartened and tired. He thought
he would make one last effort to get something to eat. He sneaked into the next
house. He saw a big, fat pig in that house and smiled at his luck.
“Did the goat, the sheep
and the rooster make a fool of me?” he began to ponder while eyeing the
pig. “But I will not let this pig make a
fool of me.”
The pig looked at the
wolf and fearlessly turned his back towards him. The wolf felt insulted. He jumped
on the pig. But midway he was hit by a blast of hot, stinking air; the accompanying
sound was deafening.
The pig was suffering
from indigestion and he had just farted.
The poor wolf could not
survive the ‘chemical weapon’ released by the pig and collapsed on the ground.
