    I will eat you up. The fox said I know where there is a pig salted in a box in a barn. So they both went to the barn and there was a hole in the door and the wolf and the fox went in. The wolf kept eating all the time, and never thought of coming out. The fox did not eat so much but kept watching out all the time. When the fox saw the man coming he ran out the hole of the door. When the wolf thought to come out he was not able because he had to much eaten so the man caught him and shot him.
