"Where are you going?" the boy asked the wolf.
"Don't go!" said the boy again. "Your fur is so thick and warm. Winter is not far off now. The people at the wedding will harm you. They will take your fur."

"You poor fellow," said the boy. "Take my advice. Stay at home. The farmer's dogs will tear you to pieces. They will be harming you to get your fur."
