There is a man who owns a donkey and a dog. One day, the man returns from the town with his two animals. The donkey is carrying many sacks on his back.

The man is walking slowly behind him. The dog is walking silently behind the man. All three are tired and hungry. After some time, the man, the donkey and the dog stop at a meadow to rest. The man lies down under a tree and falls asleep very fast. The donkey starts eating the green grass of the meadow,happily. The dog says to the donkey,

"friend, please bend down a little.I want to take some food from the bag on your back. I am very hungry."The donkey replies "Let our master wake up. He will give you your food."The poor dog guietly lies down,too. Suddenly, a wolf comes to the meadow, moves slowly and attacks the donkey.
