A kid was perched on top of a horse. Looking down, he saw a wolf passing below. Immediately, he began to revile and attack his enemy.
"Murderer and thief!" he cried. "What are you doing here near honest folks and horses? How dare you show yourself where your vile deeds are known?"
"Curse away, my young friend," said the wolf. "It is easy to be brave from a safe distance."
