Translation:

A butcher came home at night, and the meat in his burden had been sold out, leaving only bones. I met two wolves on the road and followed them for a long time. The butcher was afraid and threw the bone to the wolf. A wolf got a bone and stopped. Another wolf is still following him.

The butcher threw the bone to the wolf again, and the wolf who got the bone behind stopped, but the wolf who got the bone in front came again. The bones have been thrown away. But the two wolves chased the butcher together as before.

The butcher was embarrassed and anxious, and I was afraid that he would be attacked by wolves. The butcher saw a threshing floor in the field. The owner of the threshing floor piled firewood in the threshing floor and built a hill. The butcher then ran over, leaned over the pile of firewood, put down the burden and picked up the butcher's knife. The two wolves dared not go forward and stared at the butcher.

After a while, one wolf went straight away, and the other wolf squatted in front of the butcher like a dog. After a long time, the wolf's eyes seem to be closed, and it looks very leisurely. The butcher suddenly jumped up, cut off the wolf's head with one knife and killed the wolf with several knives. The butcher just wanted to leave, but he turned and saw the back of the firewood pile. Another wolf is digging a hole in the firewood pile, intending to drill a hole to attack the butcher's back.

The body has gone halfway, showing only the ass and tail. The butcher cut off the wolf's thigh from behind and killed the wolf. The butcher realized that the wolf in front pretended to sleep, which was originally used to lure the enemy.

The wolves were too cunning, but after a while, both wolves were killed. How deceptive can animals be? It's just a joke.

The moral of the wolf:

The author's view of the story is not only a mockery of the tragic ending of the wolf, but also a praise of the butcher's brave and witty fighting spirit. Although wolves are greedy, vicious, cunning and insidious, they are also very stupid. Facing a brave man with high wisdom, he is doomed to die after all.

Praise the butcher's wit and courage, reveal the wolf's greedy, fierce and cunning nature, and tell us that the wolf is no match for human beings no matter how cunning it is, and will eventually be defeated by human courage and wisdom.

Most of Pu Songling's works refer to the world of ghosts and monsters. Wolf is no exception. "Wolf" originally refers to those seemingly powerful and terrible bad guys and enemies. The moral of the full text is that we must fight bravely and tactfully for those seemingly powerful enemies, and the victory must be ours.
