GAUNT Wolf was almost dead 

 with hunger when he happened 

 \ W T] to meet a House-dog who was 



Is- ==J passing by. u Ah, Cousin, " said 



the Dog, " I knew how it would be ; your 

 irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. 

 Why do you not work steadily as I do, and 

 get your food regularly given to you ? " 



" I would have no objection, " said the 

 Wolf, " if I could only get a place." 



" I will easily arrange that for you," said 

 the Dog ; " come with me to my master and 

 you shall share my work." 



So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the 

 town together. On the way there the Wolf 

 noticed that the hair on a certain part of the 

 Dog's neck was very much worn away, so he 

 asked him how that had come about.
