Having caught a whole cart of fish, he returns home. Suddenly he sees a dead fox curled up by the road. There was no limit to the joy of the old man: now he will not only treat the grandmother with fish, but also bring a chic collar! He put the find in the cart and hurried home. But it was not there.

The fairy tale “Fox and the Wolf” teaches us that you shouldn’t immediately trust your eyes. And miracles do not happen as often as we would like.
Trusting wolf
The tricks of the fox do not end there. She sits, a fish stolen from her grandfather eats up. A wolf ran past, saw a fox and asked to treat her. But our cheat is not so simple! She did not want to share the prey. And again she goes to deception: she offers the wolf to go fishing himself. And not just a fishing rod, but a catch in the hole in the hole, but longer. The wolf did not understand her mockery, was too gullible, for which he paid. He sits, freezes, lowered his tail into the hole and sentenced him to catch both big and small fish. And next to him, the cheat runs, but whispers, so that the frost is stronger. The stupid wolf had to sit like that all night. In the morning I decided to collect the catch, but I can’t get up! He thought that this was his great booty. But then women went to his trouble for water. Seeing such a beast, they began to pound and drive him away. Forcibly he, poor one, carried off his legs.
The meaning of the fairy tale "Fox and the Wolf" is simple: among friends may be cunning. It is worth considering and weighing everything before blindly believing the words of another person.
And again deception
But even after that the sly one does not spare her comrade. It turned out that while the wolf was beaten because of her advice, the fox went to steal pancakes, and hit her head in the dough. She runs towards the wolf and laments that she is ill. The wolf began to complain that he received after her prompts. But the fox turned out to be more cunning and turned the situation in its favor. I told him that she, too, had been beaten all over. So much so that the brains flowed. Our naive hero, and this time believed in cheating.
The tale "The Fox and the Wolf" continues with the fact that the battered poor fellow put a trickster on his back and drove him off. She would have been happy, but she also scoffs. He sits on a wolf and whispers that the beaten wolf drags her unbroken. He asked what a girlfriend was saying quietly, and she was deceiving him that she felt sorry for them, battered.
Conclusion
What does this story teach us? First, be smarter. More than once, the wolf fell into the bait of his friend, but did not notice the catch. Children, reading this tale, of course, regret the gray. But everything that happens to him is pretty predictable. It is not known how many times he will fall into her bait.
Trust, but verify - a proverb expressing the meaning of the tale "The Fox and the Wolf."
In communicating with people you need to be prudent and always ponder your actions. Perhaps if the wolf were not so stupid, then I would understand that no one would go fishing on the tail. And when brains flow from the head, and the fox runs at the same time, the gray one definitely needed to guess its tricks.
