Aesop ´s Fables
 
Good night everyone,

Just wanted to ask:
does anyone have any clue which is the name of the Aesop �s Fables related to a red thin fox and a black dog ?
the thing is that the fox is hungry, finds some food in the hole of a tree and eats the food.
then she can�t get out of the hole, cause she has gained some weight.

the moral is: "food is good but a lot is bad for you" I can�t seem to find it on the net.

any ideas?

Thanks a lot

P:D I believe the name is � the fox and the dog -
or maybe the dog and the fox ? but I don�t know where to find it from!

hugs

Hungry Wolf

Hungry Wolf
Published: Nov 6, 2009 by admin Filed under: Hungry Wolf
This is a short story about Hungry Wolf.

Once, a wolf was very hungry. It looked for food here and there. But it couldn �t get any. At last it found a loaf of bread and piece of meat in the hole of a tree.

The hungry wolf squeezed into the hole. It ate all the food. It was a woodcutter �s lunch. He was on his way back to the tree to have lunch. But he saw there was no food in the hole, instead, awolf.

On seeing the woodcutter, the wolf tried to get out of the hole. But it couldn �t. Its tummy was swollen.

The woodcutter caught the wolf and gave it nice beatings.

IS this THE story you are looking for???

Or maybe it is this story?? -- The Fox and the Swollen Belly

There was once a very hungry fox who discovered some bread and meat hidden inside the hallow of a tree. The fox crawled in and gobbled it right up, however when he went to leave he found he couldn�t fit through the hole he had come in from his belly was too big. He began to cry out at the hopelessness of his situation until another fox came by. The second fox told him to calm down and wait, soon his belly would go back to it�s normal size and he would be able to get out.

Time fixes difficulties.

Thanks a lot to all those people who wanted to help me.
I think I finally found the information I needed. the name of the fable is:

The Fox and the Dog - level 2

primary Readers series for young learners. It tells the story of a hungry, red fox searching for something to eat in the forest. She discovers some food hidden in the hole of a tree. She climbs into the hole and helps herself to all the cheese, bread and chicken inside. But then she has a problem. She can �t fit through the hole again because now she is too fat from eating all the food. She begs for help from a black dog passing by.

I�m still trying to find some activities related to this fable!

Thanks friends
