THE WOLF AND THE HORSE
TIME: last summer.
PLACE: a field of oats.
WOLF. MAID. HORSE. BOY. MASTER. NEIGHBORS.
[The WOLF enters from the forest.]
WOLF. Ah, if I could only eat oats! What a dinner I should have! I would tell no one! No one would know, and the whole field would be mine.
(Enter the HORSE from the forest.)
Ah, good friend, such news as I can tell you!
HORSE. I will not promise to believe you.
WOLF. Well, then, believe your own eyes. There lies a field of ripe oats!
HORSE. As I live, you speak the truth!
WOLF. I have not tasted one! I have kept them all for you.
" AS I LIVE, YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH!"
HORSE (calling ) Master! Master!
WOLF. Your master knows the oats are there. You do not need to tell him.
HORSE. Maid! Maid!
WOLF. The maid knows the oats are there. You do not need to call her.
HORSE. Boy! Boy!
WOLF. Stop your calling! You will have them all at me with clubs. HORSE. Neighbors! Neighbors!
[Enter the MASTER, MAID, BOY, and NEIGHBORS with clubs. They surround the Wolf.]
MASTER. Aha! I have caught you at last!
WOLF (to horse). This is the thanks I get for showing you—
HORSE. Something you did not want yourself. I owe you nothing,
sir.
