Reading Notes, The Pious Wolf

   Bibliography: W. Robinson, The Pious Wolf

-There was a Wolf sleeping on top of a large rock when a flood hit. The Wolf woke up and found himself with no way of getting off and nothing to eat.

-The Wolf thought to himself what he could do so he crossed his paws and pretended to pray. Thought to himself good and pious to be fasting.

-A fairy so this so she switched into a little kid and jumped down onto the rock. The wolf saw this and forgot his prayers immediately . He snapped at the kid and the kid jumped away. 

-After the wolf tried to catch the kid, the wolf laid down again and said it was Friday and he had best keep his fast today.

-“You humbug!” said the fairy, who had gone back to her proper shape; “you are a nice creature to pretend that you are keeping fast! You fast because you can’t help it, not because you are really good. As a punishment, you shall stay on this rock till next Friday, and fast for a week!” So saying, she opened her wings and flew far away (Robinson).
