Wolves have very good eyesight and h   4    and smell. They are usually friendly t    5    each other. They
never hunt people. They do not kill for f     6    . Wolves are also in danger because they have n   7  to

     One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There's a
horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn't worth the trouble.” His father said
nothing but picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold
the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries.
    The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn't a house
or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father
dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father
dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
    And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, "My dear son, if you had bent down earlier to pick up
