A wolf, having been bitten and badly hurt by dogs, had collapsed on the ground. As he was in no state to get himself food, he caught sight of a ewe and begged her to bring him a drink from the nearby river. "If you give me something to drink, I'll find myself something to eat." "But if I give you something to drink," replied the ewe, "it is I who will provide the meal."
