One day a wolf (‫ )بھیڑیا‬felt (‫ )محسوس کیا‬very hungry (‫)بھوکا‬.

He wandered (‫ آوارہ گردی کرنا‬،‫ )مارا مارا پھرنا‬here

and there in search  (‫)تالش‬of food  (‫)کھانا‬but he could not find  (‫حاصل کرنا‬/‫)پانا‬anything  (‫)کوئی چیز بھی‬to
eat. At last he saw a flock  (‫)ریوڑ‬of sheep  (‫)بھیڑیں‬grazing  (‫)گھاس چرنا‬in a pasture(‫ )چراگاۃ‬. He wanted to
eat one  (‫)ایک بھیڑ‬but they were guarded by a hound(‫ )شکاری کتا‬. The shepherd’s son  (‫)گڈریئے کا بیٹا‬was
also tending the flock  (‫)ریوڑ کو چالنا‬vigilantly(‫ )ہوشیاری سے‬. The wolf found himself helpless(‫ )بے بس‬. At
last he hit upon a plan(‫ )منصوبہ بنایا‬. He hid himself in the skin  (‫)گھال‬of a sheep and safely  (‫)بحفاظت‬went
into the flock. The hound could not find out the wolf in disguise(‫ )بھیس بدلے ہوئے‬. He killed a sheep
and ate it without being caught(‫ )پکڑا جانا‬. In this way, he ate up  (‫)کھاگیا‬many sheep and their number
(‫)تعداد‬began to fall  (‫)کم ہونے لگی‬every day. The shepherd was greatly worried  (‫)بہت پریشان تھا‬but could
not find out the thief(‫ )چور‬.
