HERE IS ONE VERSION OF THIS FABLE THAT MAY BE A BIT DIFFERENT
THAN THE TEXT ON THE BACK OF THIS CARD:
A kid strayed from the flock and was chased by a wolf. When he saw he must be
caught he turned round and said to the wolf, "I know, sir, that I can't escape being
eaten by you; and so, as my life is bound to be short, I pray you let it be as merry as
may be. Will you not play me a tune to dance to before I die?" The wolf saw no
objection to having some music before his dinner; so he took out his pipe and began to
play, while the Kid danced before him. Before many minutes were passed the gods
who guarded the flock heard the sound and came up to see what was going on. They
no sooner clapped eyes on the wolf than they gave chase and drove him away. As he
ran off, he turned and said to the Kid, "It's what I thoroughly deserve. My trade is the
butcher's, and I had no business to turn piper to please you."
