The wolf together with the scandal-monger a fox fish has gone once to fish. - who will incur a basket? - The wolf has asked.

- You, - have answered a fox, - at you a tail more thickly mine.

It has strong adhered a basket to a tail of a wolf. Улов was plentiful. The wolf dragged-dragged a heavy basket, the tail has not sustained and has broken.

- I will eat you, - the wolf to a fox, - that you have played with me such joke has told!

- Regret me, my friend, lovely my godfather! We will go better with you to a smithy, there to you will shape a tail more strong that it did not break any more.

By order of a fox the smith has put a piece of iron on an anvil and, having heated it as follows, has put to a wolf to that place where the tail has been torn off.

The wolf has terribly howled from a pain and has headlong rushed to run.

After a while the fox has faced the godfather face to face on road. The wolf has cried angrily:

- This time you from me will not leave, I will eat you!

- Well, full, Scanty, my friend! Really you will begin me to revenge for an innocent joke? We Will go with me, I know a place where fine sausages hang. They, probably, where it is better on taste, than my rigid, sinewy meat.

The wolf has helped a fox to steal sausages, and they have dragged off them in wood.

- Now, - the fox has told, - it is necessary to hang up them on an oak top. After all if we leave them here, other animals will gather and will demand the part. Whether is better to us to arrange a good pantry, whence will take supplies we one?

The wolf has agreed, and the fox began to drag sausages on a top of very high oak, and having carried away, has begun to eat greedily them.

The wolf was not able to climb on trees and shouts to a fox:

- Dump to me my share!

- Select my bits, Scanty!

- Ah you, unusable! Yes you be firmer than a wood bark, I and that will eat you, if I will catch!

Here the wolf has raised a howl, and to it wolves from all wood have run together.

He has told it about a malicious trick of the godmother and has asked to help to revenge it, and in the award for the help promised to share the sausages, which visors a fox. Wolves have agreed. They have decided to rise each other on shoulders, leaning forepaws about a trunk, and thus to reach a tree top. And Scanty will stand below and to hold on itself all flight.

Wolves have got against each other, and the top wolf already has almost reached that place where the fox as she has shouted sat:

- The smith, the smith, bear hot iron, attach Куцему a tail to back!

Having heard these words, Scanty to which iron in a smithy so has got a fright was well remembered hot, that has immediately plopped down on all four paws and has shown a clean pair of heels. All wolves got against each other and, having become angry on Куцего, have rushed after it and have strangled him.

And the artful fox only laughed, very quietly eating up the sausages.
