Once upon a time, the fox was talking to the wolf about how strong people are. The fox said that no animal can fight a man. The animals have to be very clever to stay safe. The wolf said, "If I could just see a man, I would try to fight him." The fox said, "I can help you. Come to me early tomorrow morning, and I will show you one." The wolf came early the next day. The fox took him out to the road where the hunters walked every day. First, an old soldier walked by. "Is that a man?" asked the wolf. "No," answered the fox. "That was one." Then a little boy walked by on his way to school. "Is that a man?" asked the wolf. "No," said the fox. "That will be one." Finally, a hunter walked by with a big gun on his back and a sword at his side.

The fox said to the wolf, "Look, a man is coming! You must attack him, but I will run back to my hole." The wolf ran at the man. The huntsman saw him and said, "It is a pity I did not have my gun ready. I aimed and fired a small shot right at his face." The wolf made a funny face, but he was not scared. He attacked the man again. The huntsman shot him with the second barrel. The wolf swallowed his pain and ran at the huntsman. But the man took out his bright sword. He gave the wolf a few cuts, and the wolf ran away howling. "Well, brother wolf," said the fox, "how did you do with the man?" "Ah," replied the wolf, "I never knew a man could be so strong.

First, he took a stick from his shoulder and blew into it. Then, something flew into my face and tickled me so much! He blew into the stick again, and it flew right into my nose like a soft breeze. When I got close, he pulled a white feather from his body. He tapped me gently with it, and I felt a little sleepy. "You are a big talker," said the fox. "You throw your toy so far that you cannot get it back.

    "Once upon a time the fox was talking to the wolf of the strength of man. How no animal could withstand him, and how all were obliged to emply cunning in order to protect themselves from him. Then the wolf answered, if I had but the chance of seeing a man for once, I would set on him notwithstanding. I can help you to do that, said the fox. Come to me early to-morrow morning, and I will show you one. The wolf presented himself betimes, and the fox took him out on the road by which the huntsmen went daily. First came an old discharged soldier. Is that a man, inquired the wolf. No, answered the fox, that was one. Afterwards came a little boy who was going to school. Is that a man. No, that will be one. At length came a hunter with his double-barelled gun at his back, and hanger by his side. Said the fox to the wolf, look, there comes a man, you must attack him, but I will take myself off to my hole. The wolf then rushed on the man. When the huntsman saw him he said, it is a pity that I have not loaded with a bullet, aimed, and fired his small shot in his face. The wolf pulled a very wry grimace, but did not let himself be frightened, and attacked him again, on which the huntsman gave him the second barrel. The wolf swallowed his pain, and rushed on the huntsman, but he drew out his bright hanger, and gave him a few cuts with it right and left, so that, bleeding everywhere, he ran howling back to the fox. Well, brother wolf, said the fox, how have you got on with man. Ah, replied the wolf, I never imagined the strength of man to be what it is. First, he took a stick from his shoulder, and blew into it, and then something flew into my face which tickled me terribly. Then he breathed once more into the stick, and it flew into my nose like lightning and hail. When I was quite close, he drew a white rib out of his body, and he beat me so with it that I was all but left lying dead. See what a braggart you are, said the fox. You throw your hatchet so far that you cannot fetch it back again."
