One day a hungry wolf found a big dead animal. He at once jumped upon it and began eating hurriedly. The wolf was in such a haste that while eating, a bone got stuck in his throat. The wolf tried, hard to bring the bone out, but failed miserably. The greedy wolf even tried to swallow the bone to continue eating, but didn't succeed.
At last, he went to a crane that lived by the river. The wolf said to a crane, A bones has got stuck in my throat while eating. Please extract it out with the help of your long neck and beak. You will be well paid for this obligation.
The crane agreed. He inserted his long beak inside the wide-open mouth of the wolf. The crane's long neck help him in reaching down the throat and pulling the bone out.
After accomplishing the work successfully, the crane said, now pay for my service
The cunning wolf laughed, Ha Ha Ha! Payment for your service! You thank me for allowing you to bring out your head safely from my mouth.
