Once there was a wolf who was nearly dead with hunger. He was very thin, so that the outline of his bones could be seen clearly beneath his thinning coat of hair. With hardly enough energy to walk, the wolf had little hope of finding food. As he lay beneath a large tree, a dog out for a walk noticed him. Seeing how thin and hungry-looking the wolf was, the dog felt sorry for him and said, "You are in terrible shape! You look as if you haven't eaten for many days."

"You're right," said the wolf. "I haven't eaten because you and your friends are doing such a good job of guarding the sheep. Now I am so weak that I have little hope of finding food. I think I will surely die."

Then why not join us? Asked the dog. "I work regularly and I eat regularly. You could do the same. I will arrange it. You can help me and the other dogs guard the sheep. In that way, we won't have to worry about your stealing the sheep any more and you won't have to worry about going hungry any more. It's a good deal for both of us."

The wolf thought it over for a few minutes and then decided that the dog was right. So they went off together toward the ranch house where the dog lived. But, as they were walking, the wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the dog's neck was very thin. He was curious about this, for the dog had such a beautiful coat every where else. Finally, he asked the dog about it.

"Oh, don't worry about that," said the dog. "It's the place where the collar rubs on my neck when my master chains me up at night."

"Chained up!" cried the wolf, "Do you mean that you are chained up at night? If I come to live with you, will I be chained up at night too?"

That's right," answered the dog. "But, You'll get used to it soon enough. I hardly think about it anymore."

"But, if I am chained up, then I won't be able to walk when I want to take a walk or to run where I want to run," the wolf said. "If I come to live with you, I won't be free anymore." After saying this, the wolf turned and ran away.

"The dog called after the wolf, saying, "Wait! Come back! I may not be able to do everything I want to do, but I'm healthy, well-fed, and I have a warm place to sleep. You are too worried about keeping alive to enjoy life. I'm more free than you are."

  6. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and
    I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  7. I think everything posted was very reasonable.
    However, what about this? what if you were to create
    a killer post title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added something to possibly grab people's attention?
    I mean "Contoh Text Narrative: The Wolf and The Dog" is kinda boring.
    You should look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about everything've
    written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit
    more interesting.

  9. I am just wondering if fellas like ladies more or what.
    If you look at ads on gumtree or craigslist for women seeking men,
    they have like one thousand hits. Males looking for
    females get like 30 hits, and probably largely from men.
    Also on lifecasting internet sites like justin.tv girl's rooms are often so much a lot more stuffed than guy's rooms.
    Why would be the world wide web full of horny fellas but no ladies?

  11. Ok, a lot of hostility right here around the replies.
    I am not a large enthusiast of dishonest, which to me is something that gives temporary gains but
    long-term is damaging including roids. So that getting mentioned,
    indeed, Cutler operates out a good deal and of course he can
    be a genetic wonder, but I do not believe that he looks excellent at
    all. His muscularity just isn't practical, unless he is actually a mover. What drives him just isn't normal see "The Guy Whose Arms Exploded" the doctor in that documentary states that what these fellas have will be
    the exact opposite of the anorexic anorexics see only the
    excess fat and how "big" they are, whereas, Culter only sees his imperfections; how small
    his deltoids are or his calves. They are never ever satisfied.
    Anorexics die if they do not get aid. These body-builders just
    grow to be 1 large giant muscle mass. Chuck Norris at 70 many years old, looks way better than Schwarzeneggar does
    now. In any case, which is my 2 cents.

  15. I actually enjoy this well balanced strategy, especially recognizing that genetics and exercise have a
    whole lot to do with carb intake, along with the acknowledgement
    of meat's environmental footprint and also the balance amongst animal and veggie protein. Excellent write-up!
