The Wolf and the Crane's Debt
In this fable, a wolf gets a bone stuck in his throat and asks a crane for help, promising to pay him in return. After the crane saves him, the wolf dismisses the debt, claiming the crane should be grateful. Later, the wolf encounters the crane again, who reminds him of the unfulfilled promise. The wolf again refuses to acknowledge his debt, leading the crane to fly away, highlighting themes of ingratitude and broken promises. # 00:00-01:19 A wolf's got a bone in his throat.
