        The Dog, Cock and Fox

There was a Dog and a Cock, who were best friends decided to travel together. At night, they took a sleep in a thick wood.

The Cock flying up, sheltered himself on the branches of a tree, while the Dog found a bed beneath in the hollow trunk.

When the morning arrived, the Cock, as usual, crowed very loudly several times. A Fox heard the sound, and wishing to make a breakfast on him, came and stood under the branches, saying how earnestly he desired to make the friend of the owner of so glorious  voice.

 The Cock, suspecting his civilities, said: "Sir, I wish you would do me the favor of going around to the hollow trunk below me, and waking my doorkeeper, so that he may open the door and let you in."

 When the Fox approached the tree, the Dog sprang out and caught him, and tore him to pieces.
