The Wolf and the Babe

Fables by Aesop

A FAMISHING Wolf, passing the door of a cottage in the forest,
heard a Mother say to her babe:

"Be quiet, or I will throw you out of the window, and the wolves
will get you."

So he waited all day below the window, growing more hungry all the
time. But at night the Old Man, having returned from the village
club, threw out both Mother and Child.
