A farmer once had a faithful dog called Sultan, who had grown old, and lost all his teeth, so that he could no longer hold anything fast.

One day the farmer was standingwith his wife before the house-door, and said, "To-morrow I intend to shoot old sultan, he is no longer of any use.

"His wife, who felt pity for the faithful beast, answered, "He has served us so long, and been so faithful, that we might well give him his keep.

""Eh!

what?

" said the man.

"You are not very sharp.

He has not a tooth left in his mouth, and not a thief is afraid of him; now he may be off.

If he has served us, he has had good feeding for it.

"The poor dog, who was lying stretched out in the sun not far off, had heard everything, and was sorry that the morrow was to be his last day.

He had a good friend, the wolf, and he crept out in the evening into the forest to him, and complained of the fate that awaited him.

"Hark ye, gossip," said the wolf, "be of good cheer, I will help you out of your trouble.

I have thought of something.

Tomorrow, early in the morning, your master is going with his wife to make hay, and they will take their little child with them, for no one will be left behind in the house.

They are wontan eye if when I have a chance, I carry off one of your master's fat sheep.

" "Do not reckon upon that," answered the dog; "I will remain true to my master; I cannot agree to that.

" The wolf, who thought that this could not be spoken in earnest, came creeping about in the night and was going to take away the sheep.

But the farmer, to whom the faithful sultan had told the wolf's plan, caught him and dressed his hide soundly with the flailon its three legs, they could only think every time that it was picking up a stone to throw at them.

So they were both afraid; the wild boar crept into the under-wood and the wolf jumped up a tree.

The dog and the cat, when they came up, wondered that there was no one to be seen.

The wild boar, however, had not been able to hide himself altogether; and one of his ears was still to be seen.

Whilst the cat was looking carefully about, the boar moved his ear; the cat, who thought it was a mouse moving there, jumped upon it and bit it hard.

The boar made a fearful noise and ran away, crying out, "The guilty one is up in the tree.

" The dog and cat looked up and saw the wolf, who was ashamed of having shown himself so timid, and made friends with the dog.
