The Nurse And The Wolf
The Nurse And The Wolf
"Be quiet now," said an old Nurse to a child sitting on her lap. "If you
make that noise again I will throw you to the Wolf." Not it chanced that a
Wolf was passing close under the window as this was said. So he crouched down
by the side of the house and waited. "I am in good luck today," thought he.
"It is sure to cry soon, and a daintier morsel I haven`t had for many a long
day." So he waited, and he waited, and he waited, till at last the child began
to cry, and the Wolf came forward before the window, and looked up to the
Nurse, wagging his tail. But all the Nurse did was to shut down the window and
call for help, and the dogs of the house came rushing out. "Ah," said the Wolf
as he galloped away,
"Enemies` Promises Were Made To Be Broken."
