The Rabbit and the wolf

One day when a rabbit was walking in the forest, he heard someone crying out, “Help! Help me, please!” He looked around and finally he saw a wolf. A great stone had fallen on his back so that he could not get up. The wolf asked the rabbit’s help and he said that he would die if nobody helped him.

The rabbit worked very hard and finally he managed to get the big stone off the wolf’s back. However instead of saying thank, the wolf jumped up and caught the rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit cried and asked for mercy but the wolf insisted on killing him for his meal.

Then the rabbit said, “No good person kills someone who has helped him. It is not fair. You can ask the duck, who is very fat and knows everything”.

Therefore both of them went to the duck. He listened to their story and he said ,” show me the stone. I want to know how the story happened”. Then, They all together went to the stone.

“Now, let me be sure about this,” said the duck. “Put the stone on the wolf’s back exactly as it was when you found him.” So the wolf lay down and with much effort the rabbit put the stone on his back again.

“Well, what do you think?” the wolf asked the duck. The duck thought for a moment. Then he said,” I think you were wrong to be cruel to the rabbit, who had helped you. Now wait and see until someone else will help you!” Then the duck and rabbit left the wolf in the sorry state in which the rabbit had come upon him. They laughed at the wolf although he asked for help. “Help! Help me, please!”
