- Good for a feast after the harvest!

The wolf agreed and they went to harvest. The fox had a toothache from the honey. He was getting sadder and sadder. The wolf asked him:

- Why are you so sad?

- "That's because," says the fox, "they call me 'Commie'.

- So go away!" said the wolf.

The fox went straight into the forest and fed on honey, then went back. The wolf asks him:

- What is the name of the child?

- I have started! - says the fox.

Later the fox is sad again. The wolf asks again what is wrong. He said again that his name was "Koma" and the wolf sent him to the baptism again. The second time the fox went straight to the forest and was satiated with honey. Then he went back. The wolf asked:

- What is the name of the child?

- I'm halfway done! - says the fox.

For the third time, the fox shows that he is sad. For the third time the wolf asks what is wrong. For the third time he said his name was Como. The wolf sent the fox to a christening for the third time, just to keep him from being sad. The fox just went to the forest to eat honey and then went back. The wolf asked him:

- What is the name of the child?

- I'm a cleaner! - says the fox.

They go to the forest after the harvest, and the wolf sees that there is no honey. Then he remembers the names of the children. He says to the fox:

- Let's call for help and fight!

The fox called the duck, the turkey, the rooster and the cat, the wolf the bear, the lion and the elephant.

The cat, the male turkey and the rooster went up the tree and the duck stayed down. When they saw those big beasts coming, they started to make a noise, and they were so frightened that they ran away. So the fox won.
