First the little devil delivered a telegram;
then the wolf read it;
next the wolf looked at his burning tail;
then the wolf saw it was on fire;
so the wolf filled a bucket with water;
then he was going to sit down on it;
but the little devil replaced it with one full of gasoline;
then the wolf sat down on that one;
finally there was an explosion.
