Mr. Wolf and Mr. Dog were hanging out at the food court of the animal shopping mall. Mr. Wolf was eating a huge
feast of pizza and drinking a large jug of fruit punch and Mr. Dog was watching him eat. “Hey, Mr. Wolf. If you
give me a slice of your pizza, I’ll let you have the next bone I find.” Mr. Wolf declined, even though it hurt his
stomach to eat the last three slices of pizza. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dog,” Mr. Wolf said, “but I paid for this pizza and it’s
all mine.” Mr. Dog sighed and waited for Mr. Wolf to finish, and then they left the animal mall together. On the
way out, a hunter spotted them and gave chase. Mr. Wolf normally could have escaped the hunter but since he was
weighed down by such a large meal, he collapsed and the hunter killed him. Mr. Dog easily escaped. Later that
night while returning to the scene, Mr. Dog caught the scent of something delicious and began digging around a
trash can. He found a large bone with lots of meat and marrow still stuck to the bone. Mr. Dog happily ate.
