1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: Welcome sleep tight stories. The Fox and the Wolf. The

2
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: wolf and the fox had so much in common that

3
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: they were like brothers. They both loved to steal and

4
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: to hunt, but given the choice, they always prefer to steal.

5
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: These two strong pod bandits of the animal world lived

6
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: together in one dead But the wolf was far bigger

7
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: and more powerful than the fox, and he thought himself

8
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: to be the better of the pear. The fox, though smaller,

9
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: knew that he was much smarter than the wolf, and

10
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: he resented the way that the wolf always acted like

11
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: he was the big boss. One day, as they sat

12
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: in the sun outside their cave, the fox said to

13
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the wolf, my friend, you are like a brother to me,

14
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: so let me give you some kind advice. Mend your ways.

15
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Be a bandit no more, do not steal from man Again.

16
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: The wolf turned his great head to his friend and

17
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: lifted up one shaggy ear. The fox went on, I

18
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: know how you love to creep in to man's vineyard,

19
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: dig up his vines and eat his grapes. I know

20
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: how you like to jump into his fields and steal

21
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: his lambs. I also see how he hates you for this,

22
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: and how he is planning your destruction. You would be

23
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: wise to fear him, for he is full of cunning.

24
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: He knows how to shoot birds down from the sky,

25
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: how to lift fish from the water, how to burn wood,

26
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: and how to cut up rocks and steal from him

27
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: no more. Someone that's smart is bound to outwit one

28
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: like you eventually, So do as I advise, make peace

29
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: with man and steal from him no more. The wolf listened,

30
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: and he did not welcome these words, for he felt

31
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: deep down that the fox was insulting him. Did he

32
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: mean to hint that he was not that smart? Or

33
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: at any rate? He realized that the fox thought himself

34
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: to be far cleverer than him, and so he lifted

35
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: up his great paw and punched his friend hard in

36
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: the face. The poor animal went rolling over and over

37
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: and was quite stunned. When he staggered back to his feet,

38
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: the wolf growled at him, it is not for you

39
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: to advise your betters. It took the fox a moment

40
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: or two to recover himself. When he could manage a smile,

41
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: he said, softly, of course you are right, brother wolf.

42
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: Forgive me. I am full of regret for my sin

43
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: against you, whom I love more than any other creature

44
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: in the world. And the wolf looked him up and down,

45
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: saw that the fox was fittingly afraid of him, and added,

46
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: in a stern voice, learn from this lesson, don't poke

47
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: your nose into other people's business. The fox bowed his

48
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: head and said, to hear your voice is to obey,

49
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: my brother. That's more like it, said the wolf. At

50
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: least those were wise words said in the right place.

51
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: Oh yes, said the fox, more humbly than ever. As

52
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the poet once said, the blow of a teacher is

53
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: at first hurtful, but in the end it is sweeter

54
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: than honey. And from that time on he was always

55
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: careful to show the wolf the greatest respect, and to

56
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: flatter him whenever possible. But inwardly he despised him and

57
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: was looking for the chance to take his revenge. The

58
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: months passed, and the wolf forgot all about the incident,

59
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: but the fox did not. One day, he was skulking

60
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: along the wall of the vineyard looking for a way

61
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: to sneak in and steal some grapes, when he found

62
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: a hole large enough for a fox even for a

63
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: wolf to creep through. At first he was delighted, and

64
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: then he thought to himself, Hmm, this is too good

65
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: to be true. I think man is plotting something here.

66
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: And he stretched through the hole and tapped the ground

67
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: on the other side with his paw. It was just

68
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: as he thought. The man had laid sticks and leaves

69
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: across a deep pit. It was a trap to catch

70
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: a thief. Yea that I have found this cunning trap,

71
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: said the fox happily. And may my enemy, the wolf,

72
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: fall straight into it. And he ran back to the

73
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: den with a spring in his step. Good news, he said,

74
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: as the wolf was just shaking off his sleep, I

75
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: have found an easy way into the vineyard. You can

76
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: sneak in and fill your belly with man's juicy grapes.

77
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: The ripe fruit is shining on the vines, ready for

78
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: you to eat. Wolf had no reason to doubt the

79
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: fox's words, and he went trotting off to the vineyard

80
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: in search of a delicious and easy breakfast. He found

81
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: the hole in the wall just where the fox had

82
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: told him to look, and he easily crawled through it.

83
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: But on the other side he fell through the sticks

84
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: and leaves and tumbled straight down into the trap. The

85
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: fox saw his friend's misfortune and he was jubilant. At last,

86
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: fortune has taken pity on me. Greed has pulled the

87
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: wolf down to his doom. And with tears in his eyes,

88
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: he peered over at the edge of the pit and

89
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: saw the sorrowful wolf looking up at him. My one

90
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: true friend, said the wolf. I see that you are

91
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: crying for me. No, not one bit, laughed the fox.

92
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I am crying because I am thinking how long you

93
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: lived before this day. And I am sad because you

94
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: didn't fall into this deep hole sooner. These cruel words

95
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: stunned and hurt the fox even more than his fall

96
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: had done. Quite shocked, he replied, have mercy on your brother,

97
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Go and speak to my mother. She will know what

98
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: to do and she will bring help. But the fox

99
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: was quite unmoved by the wolf's plea. He snarled up

100
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: his muzzle to show his yellow teeth and said, you silly,

101
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: witless beast. Why should I help you, who have been

102
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: a tyrant over me? But but pleaded the wolf. You

103
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: have always protested your love for me. You have worn

104
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: to be my servant. You have promised to look after

105
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: me even in my old age. How can you turn

106
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: against me like this? Oh? You deluded, self deceiving fool,

107
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: jered the fox. That was my fear talking, not my heart.

108
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: In truth, I despise you, for you are a bully

109
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: and a brute. Still unable to fully believe these words,

110
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: the wolf, half thinking that his friend was joking, said,

111
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: I pray, do not speak to me with the tongue

112
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: of an enemy. Do not look at me with the

113
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: eyes of a foe. For the wise poet spoke well

114
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: when he said forgiveness is noble and kindness is the

115
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: best of treasures. Oh, now you beg and scrape, said

116
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: the fox. But that is only because you are down

117
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: there in the dark hole, and I am up here

118
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: in the sun. If you rescue me from this pit,

119
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: I shall repent my ways, howled the wolf. But the

120
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: fox just laughed at him. And at last the wolf

121
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: realized that his former friend truly did despise him, and

122
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: that there was no hope in him helping him, and

123
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: all was lost. He began to weep and howl more

124
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: piteously than ever. Now even the fox had a place

125
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: in his heart that was not either filled with hatred

126
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: or cunning. At last, he was moved by the fate

127
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: of the wolf. He went over to the hole and said,

128
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: my friend, why are you crying? So I was only

129
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: joking when I said those words. Here, pull on my

130
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: tail and heave yourself out, and so saying, he dangled

131
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: his red bushy tail into the hole for the wolf

132
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: to take hold of. But the wolf, full of dumb

133
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: desire for revenge, did not make use of the tail

134
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: to save himself. Instead, he seized it and pulled the

135
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: fox down into the hole, with him growling triumphantly. So

136
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: now you have fallen into the snare of your own intent,

137
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: you traitor, and in it you shall share my fate.

138
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: The fox, full of fear, began to beg and scrape. Oh,

139
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: brave and powerful master, do not strike me now, or

140
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: you will not benefit from my plan, and we shall

141
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: both die here? Is it not better that we should

142
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: both save ourselves? The wolf, already feeling a little calmer,

143
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: began to regret that he had not saved himself when

144
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: he had the chance, And he asked, and how exactly

145
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: do you propose to save us? Easy, said the fox.

146
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Lift me up on your head and I can scramble

147
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: out of this pit. I will run and fetch a

148
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: vine to use as a rope. To help you climb out.

149
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: But the wolf shook his shaggy head and said, oh, fox,

150
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: I respect you for never giving up, But I am

151
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: not the fool you take me to be. As the

152
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: poet said, the worst of enemies is your nearest friend.

153
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: Greet him with a smiling face, but be ready to

154
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: do battle with him. And that is why I do

155
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: not trust your words. No, it would be a bad

156
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: thing for me to die here alone. You shall wait

157
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: here with me, and we shall die together when the

158
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: man comes and finds us trapped here. Wise words, said

159
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: the fox, But not for every case. It cannot be

160
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: right to always be suspicious. Trust is the glue of friendship.

161
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: Without trust, each one of us is on his own.

162
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Without trust, there can be no working together. The choice

163
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: is yours, trust me or die. What do you have

164
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: to lose for if you do not trust me, your

165
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: number's up. Anyways. Now, the wolf, who of course did

166
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: hope to live, saw that he had little to lose

167
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: by helping the fox, and he lifted him up on

168
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: his head. The fox grasped at the edge of the

169
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: hole with his claws, got a hold of vine, and

170
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: scrambled up into the daylight. Be sure to keep your word,

171
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: called up the wolf, Run and fetch that rope and

172
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: pull me out. Ha ha ha ha, cried the fox.

173
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Not a chance. If I help you out, you will

174
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: take your revenge and kill me. And he ran off

175
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: up the hill towards the village. There he started to

176
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: make a great noise, so much that the man came

177
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: out holding a rake in his hand. He saw the

178
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: fox and started to chase him. The fox turned and ran,

179
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: meaning to lead him to the pit where he would

180
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: find the wolf. But as he ran, the fox thought,

181
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: is it not sad that we are all alone in

182
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: this world and can trust no one? And when he

183
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: reached the pit, he dangled his tail down into the

184
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: hole once again and said, wolf, quick, pull yourself out

185
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: by my tail. If you drag me down into the

186
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: pit once again, we are both dead because the man

187
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: is no more than a minute away. Be wise, see

188
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: that we are joined together by our common enemy. Either

189
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: we live or die together. And the wolf, seeing that

190
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: he had but one chance to live, pulled himself out

191
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: by the fox's tail, and ran for the woods. The

192
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: fox ran too, but in a different direction because he

193
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: did not wish to debate trust and suspicion with the

194
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,239
Speaker 1: wolf again. There was too much danger in that discussion.
