A starving wolf asks a very well-fed dog what he should do to be bulky too. The dog advises him to put himself at the service of a human: the services rendered, he will be spoiled. The wolf then realizes that the dog has a wound where the human puts a leash on it. When he finds out that this injury is from the object depriving him of his freedom, he decides to run away with his freedom and return to the woods.
This animal fable opposes two animals similar in morphology but which have two different lifestyles: one is wild and the other is domestic. This confrontation allows La Fontaine to present two conditions: the insecurity linked to freedom and the comfort linked to servitude.

- mcguire 5y agoIf the wolf is truly starving, the only thing he is free to do is search for his next meal---at least until he becomes too weak to do that. Freedom requires some level of security.
