The little wolf told them there was a pretty little rod in the chest, and they should get it. They asked it, but not getting it they began crying and crying, until the chest had to be opened and the rod given them. He who got the rod had a bit of bread in his hand, the little wolf leaped up to get the bread and was struck by the rod, and the magic was struck out of him. And he was a gentleman as he was at the first.
