Wolf had got a Bone in’s Throat, and could think of no better Intrument to Eae him out of it, than the Bill of a Crane; o he went and Treated with a Crane to help him out with it, upon Condition of a very coniderable Reward for his pains. The Crane did him the Good Office, and then claim’d his Promie. Why how now Impudence! (ays t’other) Do you put your head into the Mouth of a Wolf, and then, when y’ave brought it out again safe and sound, do you talk of a Reward? Why Sirrah, you have your Head again, and is not that a Sufficient Recompence?
