A Kid was perched up on the top of a house, and looking down

　　saw a Wolf passing under him. Immediately he began to revile1 and

　　attack his enemy. "Murderer and thief," he cried, "what do you

　　here near honest folks' houses? How dare you make an appearance

　　where your vile2 deeds are known?"

　　"Curse away, my young friend," said the Wolf.

　　"It is easy to be brave from a safe distance."
