1, the following is a short translation of this novel: A butcher came back at night, and the meat in his burden was sold out, leaving only some bones. I met two wolves on the road and followed them for a long time. The butcher was afraid and picked up a bone and threw it out. One wolf got the bone and stopped, and the other wolf followed.
The butcher picked up another bone and threw it. The wolf who got the bone stopped later, but the wolf who got the bone first followed. The bones are gone, and the two wolves are chasing together as before. The butcher's condition is very critical and he is worried about being attacked by wolves before and after. When I got to the edge, I saw a threshing floor in the wild, where the owner piled firewood and built it like a hill.
The butcher then ran to lean under the pile of firewood, put down the burden and picked up the butcher knife. Both wolves dared not go forward and stared at the butcher. After a while, one wolf went straight away, and the other wolf squatted in front like a dog. After a while, the wolf sitting there seems to close his eyes and look relaxed.
The butcher suddenly jumped up, took a knife to cut the wolf's head, and even cut several knives to kill the wolf. He just wanted to leave the road and turned to look behind the firewood pile. Another wolf is digging a hole there, trying to get through the firewood pile and attack the butcher's back. The body has gone halfway, showing only the ass and tail.
The butcher cut off the wolf's thigh from behind and killed it. The butcher realized that the wolf in front pretended to sleep, which turned out to be a way to lure the enemy. The wolves were too cunning, but after a while, both wolves were killed. How many tricks can animals use? It's just a joke.
