<h2>THE PLOUGHMAN AND THE WOLF</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Ploughman loosed his oxen from the plough, and led them away
to the water to drink. While he was absent a half-starved Wolf
appeared on the scene, and went up to the plough and began chewing
the leather straps attached to the yoke. As he gnawed away
desperately in the hope of satisfying his craving for food, he
somehow got entangled in the harness, and, taking fright, struggled
to get free, tugging at the traces as if he would drag the plough
along with him. Just then the Ploughman came back, and seeing what
was happening, he cried, "Ah, you old rascal, I wish you would give
up thieving for good and take to honest work instead."</p>
