นิทานภาษาอังกฤษ

A wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed.

When suddenly a small bone in the meat
stuck in his throat

and he could not swallow it.

He soon felt terrible pain in his throat,

and ran up and down groaning and groaning

and seeking for something to relieve the pain.

He tried to induce everyone he met to remove the bone.

I would give anything”  said he,

if you would take if out.”

At last the Crane agreed t try,

and told the wolf to lie on his side and open his jaws

as wide as he could.

Then the crane put its long neck down the wolf’s throat,

and with its beak loosened the bone,

till at last it got it out.

Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?”

said the crane

The wolf grinned and showed this teeth and said:

Be content.

You have put your head inside a Wolf’s mouth

and taken it out again in safety;

that ought to be reward enough for you.”
