The dog replied that he kept watch over the farm and his master fed him well. The dog advised him, “Do work honestly and the master will feed you well”. The wolf agreed.

The wolf noticed some marks round the dog’s neck. He asked the dog about it. The dog replied that during the day he had to wear the chain round his neck. The wolf was shocked to hear this. He said, “I would rather be free and starve than be a slave to anybody”.

Moral: Better be hungry than in chains.
