Reading Notes: The Cunning Wolf

The reading notes on cunning wolf. Who want to save his fellow animals?

The who is on the holiday should understand that you cannot just kill any animal for eating food.  They got food but not enough that it would last them till night and all of the food was done.  Everyone should have voted to go to nearby store and bring food instead of going on hunting and killing animals.  It would be much better if you get food from the store.  Instead of that they think that it would be better to hunt them and eat the fresh meat.

I don’t know what that man was thinking but he was clearly think wrong about the animal that they will quickly fall into his trap.  He thought that animal will come never him if he acts like he is dead so that animal can eat his meat.  Maybe he thought that animals are not as intelligent as humans are and it will be easier to hunt them by playing dead.  There are some animals who grew up in the environment where they constantly have to use their brain to survive.  And I think that the wolf was one of them who can use his brain and put himself in danger so his fellow animals can survive and they get the idea of what happen when you carelessly approach someone.

The wolf tries to move the club of the guy who trying to play dead and he got caught.  After that they found that the human is not dead but he was looking for fresh meat and everyone ran away.  After that he could not find any animals and he came back to his friends.  He said “I tried to find fresh meat by playing dead but the cunning wolf played trick on me and I could not get fresh meat.”  The wolf was not cunning but intelligent.
