The Wolf And The Crane
Aesop Fable: The Wolf And The Crane
A wolf who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a crane,
for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw
out the bone.
When the crane had extracted the bone and
demanded the promised payment, the wolf, grinning and
grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "why, you have surely already
had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted
to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and
jaws of a wolf."
in serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if
you escape injury for your pains.
