So they went together to the town , and when they came to a butcher 's shop , the sparrow said to the dog : ` You stand still and I 'll peck down a piece of meat for you . ' First she looked all round to see that no one was watching her , and then she set to work to peck at a piece of meat that lay on the edge of a shelf , till at last it fell down . The dog seized it ravenously , and ran with it to a dark corner where he gobbled it up in a very few minutes . When he had finished it , the sparrow said : ` Now come with me to another shop , and I will get you a second piece , so that your hunger may be satisfied . ' When the dog had finished the second piece of meat , the sparrow asked him : ` Brother , have you had enough now ? ' ` Yes , ' replied the dog , ` I 've had quite enough meat but I have n't had any bread yet . ' The sparrow said : ` You shall have as much bread as you like , only come with me . ' Then she led him to a baker 's shop , and pecked so long at two rolls on a shelf that at last they fell down , and the dog ate them up . But still his hunger was not appeased ; so the sparrow took him to another baker 's shop , and got some more rolls for him . Then she asked him : ` Well , brother , are you satisfied ? ' ` Yes , ' he replied ; ` and now let us go for a little walk outside the town . ' So the two went for a stroll into the country ; but the day was very hot , and after they had gone a short distance the dog said : ' I am very tired , and would like to go to sleep . ' ` Sleep , then , ' said the sparrow , ` and I will keep watch meantime on the branch of a tree . ' So the dog lay down in the middle of the road , and was soon fast asleep . While he was sleeping a carter passed by , driving a waggon drawn by three horses , and laden with two barrels of wine . The sparrow noticed that the man was not going out of his way to avoid the dog , but was driving right in the middle of the road where the poor animal lay ; so she called out : ` Carter , take care what you are about , or I shall make you suffer for it . ' But the carter merely laughed at her words , and , cracking his whip , he drove his waggon right over the dog , so that the heavy wheels killed him . Then the sparrow called out : ` You have caused my brother 's death , and your cruelty will cost you your waggon and horses . ' ` Waggon and horses , indeed , ' said the carter ; ` I 'd like to know how you could rob me of them ! ' The sparrow said nothing , but crept under the cover of the waggon and pecked so long at the bunghole of one of the barrels that at last she got the cork away , and all the wine ran out without the carter 's noticing it .
But at last he turned round and saw that the bottom XXXXX the cart was wet , and when he examined it , he found that one of the barrels was quite empty , ` Oh !
