THE WOLF AND THE STORK

            There was once a wolf who felt so hungry. He gulped down all his food as though his life depended on it. No wonder he had a chicken bone stuck in his throat! Luckily for him, a stock who happened to be passing nearby, heard his shrieks of pain, and she stopped, always ready to help wherever she could.

            Just one look was enought for her to guess what had happened. At once, whitout saying a word or wasting anytime she site to work. It was going to be a very long and a very dificult job. But how could the stork help the greddy wolf?
