Then he remembered. There s a farm outside this village, he thought. I ll find some food there As he peered over the farm fence he saw a pig, a duck and a cow reading in the sun. The Wolf had never seen animals read before. My eyes are playing tricks on me, thought the Wolf. But he was hungry and didn t think about it too much.
