صعد طفل إلى سطح مبنى خارجي، منجذبًا إلى العشب والأشياء الأخرى التي تنمو في القش؛ وبينما كان واقفا هناك يرعى، لمح ذئبًا يمر في الأسفل، فسخر منه لأنه لم يستطع الوصول إليه.
The Wolf only looked up and said, "I hear you, my young friend; but it is not you who mock me, but the roof on which you are standing."
نظر الذئب إلى الأعلى وقال: "أنا أسمعك يا صديقي الشاب؛ ولكن ليس أنت الذي يسخر مني، بل السقف الذي تقف عليه".
