Once upon a time there was a wolf and a fox who called each other brother and sister.They agreed that whoever caught anything by chance would share it together. The wolf stretched out his nose and sniffed here and there, and when he smelled the smell of sheep, he said to the fox, "Sister, let me go to the pasture and see if there are any sheep staying there." He ran there, rushed to the middle of the flock, took a lamb in his mouth, and ran away as fast as he could, but his movements were still a little slow, and he was severely beaten by the hunter several times, and his wounds would take at least a week to heal .

"Since I have been beaten so hard to get the lamb," thought the Wolf, "I will keep it to eat." He hung the lamb over the hearth, and said nothing about it to the Fox. "How about those sheep? Did you catch them?" asked the fox. "Sister, it's dangerous to go after the sheep. I think, forget it." The fox didn't believe what the wolf said at all, and thought to himself: Now let me punish you! The fox discovered a cellar where the smugglers hid a lot of honey.She said to the wolf, "Brother, I have found a place where there is a lot of honey, and there is such a good thing! Let us go and see in a few days."

However, she did not speak to the wolf at all, and went alone.When she found honey, she ate it, and licking her lips, said, "Oh, it's delicious!" The wolf's club wound is still not healed, and every time he sees the fox, he always asks: "Sister, when shall we go to see Honey?" "Yo, what do you want from me? I've come a long way!" "Oh, sister, where have you been after you have been walking for so long?" "Brother," replied the fox, "I have been to a town called 'Taste'. " The next day, when the wolf had eaten up the lamb, he asked the fox, "Well, sister, shall we go?"

"Ah, my dear brother, that place is far away!" "You've been away for a long time again...where have you been this time?" "Cough, brother, don't mention it, I'm exhausted, I've been to a small town called 'Stealing'." A day later, the poor wolf came to the fox again and asked, "Sister, shall we go and have a look?" The fox finally agreed: "Okay, let's go tomorrow." But as soon as the fox parted with the wolf, he set out on the road alone.She went straight to the place where the honey was hidden, and ate all the honey that was left.While she was licking the bottom of the can, the smuggler came, but the fox was quick on his feet and ran away as hard as he could.

The next day the fox and the wolf set off together. "Brother, we have to go to a small town far away from here. If you want to go, you have to follow me. That small town is called 'Eat Finish'!" The wolf still walked in the same way because he had been beaten. Limping, but trying to bear the pain as best he could, he followed closely. They climbed to the top of a hill, and the fox said: "We have reached the town of 'Eating'. You go ahead, and I will watch the wind behind, lest the smugglers come and beat us." The poor wolf has gone.However, the smugglers have discovered that their honey has been stolen, and they are hiding by the side to watch.The wolf went there, only to find some broken

Can slices, with some honey sticking to them.The wolf was so hungry that he began to lick the broken cans, when the smugglers rushed up and beat the wolf badly. The fox stood in the distance, gloated and watched the wolf being beaten and struggling in pain.The wolf finally broke free, and ran to the fox one step at a time.The fox asked: "Oh, brother, what's the matter?" "Sister!" snorted the wolf, "don't you see they're killing me? Let's run, or we'll get beaten!" "Run! I sprained my ankle, how can I run? No, I can't run!"

In this way, the wolf, beaten and bruised and desperate for his life, followed the fox who was pretending to be limping towards the house. "Oh, brother," the fox snorted, "how can I walk with this leg? You can carry me for a while." The wolf had no other choice but to carry the fox on his back.In this way, the good fox was riding on the back of the half-dead wolf, walking home, and the fox was still singing on the back of the wolf: Look! Running on the back of the dead wolf, see how wonderful it is! "Sister, why are you singing such a song?" Wolf asked. "Oh brother, that's the way the words are. I sing to cheer you up when you walk."

They go home.The wolf was beaten black and blue with a stick, and he was exhausted after carrying the fox on his back. As soon as he got home, he passed out on the ground and never regained consciousness.In this way, the fox retaliated against the wolf for devouring the lamb. (Naples area)
