1. A wolf used to feed
His bone lay in fields in spring

2. Fasting emaciated him
Making his flesh languish in spirit

3. The fox came crying
And consoled his mother

4. Saying: O my friend's mother
What grieves you?

5. So be patient beautifully
A mother's patience is mercy

6. She replied: O my sister's son
All you have said is wisdom

7. But I do not care so much
Their saying he died from his bone

8. Would that he died like his brother
Envied for his fat
