One day the Wolf and the Fox were walking together. They walked and walked and suddenly they saw: in front of them there was a garden, the gates were tightly closed, and around there was a thick hedge of thorny bushes. And there, behind the fence, there are many trees and bushes with delicious fruits. And the friends wanted to eat it so much that their mouths began to water. What to do? We decided to go along the fence - maybe we would find at least some kind of hole. And indeed they soon found a narrow loophole. The wolf forced his way into it, but the Fox slipped through easily. In the garden they began to pick juicy fruits and bunches of grapes from the branches. The glutton wolf ate and ate until his stomach was swollen. But the Fox ate very little - he would pinch a couple of berries here, take a bite of a fruit there. And when it was time for them to get out, they returned to the same loophole through which they entered the garden. The fox sniffs - and is already on the other side of the fence. But the Wolf only managed to stick his head and front paws through. There's a gardener out of nowhere. He saw the gray wolf's butt and started hitting it with a stick. Either from the beatings, or from fear, the Wolf’s agility increased and he finally managed to break out.
It is not without reason that they say: fate does not help those who do not foresee the consequences of their actions.
