The wolf asked the king of birds:
- Teach me to fly!
- Oh, just grab my tail, says the eagle.
Well, the wolf caught his tail and carried him up. When they were high up, the eagle asked the wolf:
- Wolfie, can you still see land?
- I can still see it.
Again the eagle carries him upwards, again the eagle says:
- Wolfie, can you still see the land?
- I can still see it.
They go up; he says again:
- Can you still see it?
- I don't see it.
Then the eagle says to him:
- So let go of my dick!
He let go and then went downstairs. The wolf was very happy to be flying so fast. He says to a stump:
- Wake up, you lump of coal, or I'll beat you to death! Get up before me, you lump of coal, or I'll beat you to death!
But the log of coal did not escape him. And the wolf fell upon it, and died a monster.
