the story in italian
Un lupo aveva banchettato troppo avidamente, e un osso gli si era conficcato trasversalmente in gola. Non riusciva a farlo andare né su né giù, e naturalmente non riusciva a mangiare una cosa. Ovviamente era uno stato terribile per un lupo avido.
the story in English
A Wolf had been feasting too greedily, and a bone had stuck crosswise in his throat. He could get it neither up nor down, and of course he could not eat a thing. Naturally that was an awful state of affairs for a greedy Wolf.
Così via si precipitò verso la gru. Era sicuro che lei, con il suo lungo collo e becco, sarebbe facilmente in grado di raggiungere l'osso e tirarlo fuori.
So away he hurried to the Crane. He was sure that she, with her long neck and bill, would easily be able to reach the bone and pull it out.
"Ti ricompenserò molto generosamente," disse il Lupo, "se tiri fuori quell'osso per me."
I will reward you very handsomely," said the Wolf, "if you pull that bone out for me."
La gru, come potete immaginare, era molto a disagio nel mettere la testa nella gola di un lupo. Ma si stava aggrappando alla natura, -così fece quello che il Lupo le chiese di fare.
he Crane, as you can imagine, was very uneasy about putting her head in a Wolf's throat. But she was grasping in nature, so she did what the Wolf asked her to do.
Quando il Lupo sentì che l'osso era sparito, cominciò ad allontanarsi."Ma che dire della mia ricompensa!" chiamò la gru con ansia."Cosa!" ringhiò il Lupo, girando intorno. "Non ce l'hai? Non ti basta che ti permetta di togliermi la testa dalla bocca senza spezzarmela?"
When the Wolf felt that the bone was gone, he started to walk away."But what about my reward!" called the Crane anxiously."What!" snarled the Wolf, whirling around. "Haven't you got it? Isn't it enough that I let you take your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?"
