A wolf once found a boy hiding behind a haystack，trembling with fright．“Please don't eat me，”pleaded the boy．“I don't see why I shouldn't，”replied the wolf．“But if you can tell me three things that are really true，then will let you go．”
The boy thought for a moment Then he said：
“First，I wish you had never seen me．Second，I was stupid to let you find me here and third，I hope the hunter gets you tomorrow to stop you stealing all my sheep．”
“Fair enough，”said the wolf，who was not feeling hungry any-way．“I am sure those are all true from your point of view．Now run off before I change my mind and gobble you up．”
It pays to tell the truthExercises：
①Why was the boy hiding behind a haystack？
②Did the wolf let the boy go at last？ |
