The wolf had swallowed a fish bone and went to ask the heron to pull if out of his throat. 'I will reward you handsomely for your help,' he promised the heron.
The heron agreed and, in an instant, put his long beak down the throat of the wolf and pulled out the fish bone. At this, the wolf thanked the heron and began to walk away.
'What about the reward you promised?' the heron shouted after him.
'What?' the wolf replied. 'You put your head between my jaws and I didn't bite it off! Isn't that reward enough?'
