ABSTRACT
Once upon a time there was a peasant from the hills who had an assand earned his living by collecting firewood. One day, as he wasreturning from gathering wood, the ass fell and could not get up. The peasant took off the saddle and left the ass on the ground for dead and went away. That night the ass revived and went to some field where it began to eat and gradually became nice and fat. One day a wolf appeared and began to look around and approached the ass slowly but surely. When the ass saw the wolf, it said, “Oh what a bitter fate! The wolf’s going to eat me!”
