however, when the wolf was let out of the bag, he showed his true features. he said he was hungry; since the master was so kind as to have helped him once, he might as well do it again by allowing himself to be eaten. furthermore, he bad been nearly ¹¹ in that beg a little while before, and that gave him another reason to ¹² himself on the poor master. now it was master dongguo's turn to take to his heels.

an old man came along leaning on a staff and asked what was the matter. master dongguo and the wolf gave their respective arguments and asked him to make a ¹³. the old man thought over the situation for a few moments and said, "mister wolf should go back into the bag and if he is really ¹⁴, then master dongguo should be eaten by him".

the wolf got into the bag again and it was tied up as before.
