One day a she-wolf was talking to a wolf.
“Your life is bad, wolf,” the she-wolf sighs.
- Why? - The wolf looked at her.
- Yes, you keep wandering around the bushes, hiding from people.
“Hmm,” muttered the wolf, “you’re also hiding from people...
- No, I go wherever I want, and no one sees me.
- Well, you’re lying, my dear! - the wolf does not agree. - They see you the same way they see me!
“Well,” answered the she-wolf, “believe it or not, but I’m telling the truth!”
The wolf shook his head and said:
- If so, then let's check. I'll hide in the bushes, and you go to the field. Let's see if people notice you or not.
“Okay,” the she-wolf agreed, “let’s see!”
The wolf hid in the bushes, and the she-wolf went out into the field. The plowmen saw her and raised a cry:
- Wolf, wolf!.. Beat the wolf!
The wolf heard from the bushes that he was being remembered, trembled with fear and went into the forest. He runs and thinks:
“It’s strange: the she-wolf came out into the field and nothing happened, but I was sitting in the bushes and they saw me.”
The she-wolf caught up with him and asked:
-Well, whose truth?
The wolf caught his breath and said:
- Your truth. You can't say anything. If I hadn't checked it, I would never have believed it.
