top of a house, and looking
down saw a Wolf passing
under him. Immediately he
began to revile and attack his
enemy. "Murderer and thief,"
he cried, "what do you want
here near honest folks'
houses? How dare you make
an appearance where your
vile deeds are known?" "Curse
away, my young friend," said
the Wolf. "It is easy to be brave
from a safe distance."
