Æsope secgeþ swilċe tale, þāra menna ġemearre þāra æfre tīde sāmhwilċe unēaðnesse and dære tō gōde tō dōnne scullon seċċan. Tīde wæs hund þone of ēowe brēades hlāf manode þone hit æt him hæfde āborgod. And sēo ēowu andswarode þæt hēo nā his nāht næfde. Se hund dyde ēowe beforan Dēman tō cumenne. And forþām sēo ēowu sēo gafol wiþsōc, swā forwohrte hund and mid him lēasġewitan brōhte, þā tō witte wulf, slīw, spearhafoc wǣron. And þonne þās ġewitan āmered and ġehīerded wǣron, þonne sæġde se wulf tō Dēman, "Iċ eom ġewiss and iċ wel ġemune, þæt se hund tō hire brēades hlāf ġeborgode." And se slīw dyde and sæġde, "Hēo āfeng hlāf beforan min selfe." And se spearhafoc sæġde þǣre ēowe, "Uton hiðer for hwȳ manast þū þæt þe þū hæfst ġefangen and āfangen?" And þus wæs sēo earmliċ ēowu oferwunnen. And þonne se Dēma hēt hīe þæt hēo þone hund sceolde, forþām hēo āsealde ǣr þone winter hire flīes and wulle for þǣm þe hēo nā ne hæfde tō ābycgenne. And þus wæs sēo earmliċ ēowu onrēafod.
On swilċum wīse dōþ þā yfel hungorliċ folk þā þe be heora greatum unsoðe and hete þā earmliċ folk forstelaþ and onrēafiaþ.
