    A Wolf had been feasting too greedily,

    and a bone had stuck crosswise in his
    throat. He could get it neither up nor
    down, and of course he could not eat a
    thing. Naturally that was an awful state of
    affairs for a greedy Wolf.
    So away he hurried to the Crane. He was
    sure that she, with her long neck and bill,
    would easily be able to reach the bone and
    pull it out. "I will reward you very
    handsomely," said the Wolf, "if you pull
    that bone out for me."
    The Crane, as you can imagine, was very
    uneasy about putting her head in a Wolf's
    throat. But she was grasping in nature, so
    she did what the Wolf asked her to do.
    When the Wolf felt that the bone was
    gone, he started to walk away. "But what
    about my reward!" called the Crane
    anxiously.
    "What!" snarled the Wolf, whirling around. "Haven't you got it? Isn't it enough that I let
    you take your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?"
