Wolf and Apple

Apple on a branch glowed amber,
Seducing everyone around with honey taste.
And one day Wolf appeared on the road,
And sure, he wanted to eat this Apple.

Wolf went up to Apple tree and held out his paw,
But Apple suddenly raised branches up.
"Wolf, you can't just get my fruits
And eat them without any effort or suffering!"

Wolf looked at Apple with grin.
He wanted to eat, it was no secret,
But he wasn't going to spend all day
To pick few not very large fruits.

"Many want my fruits! - Apple did not let up. -
But very few persons deserve it!
What can you offer me in return?
Sing me serenade to make me cry!"

"I'd better go my own way, - replied Wolf. -
You're so arrogant, that I lost appetite.
Nearby grows another Apple, tastier than you,
And it's much lower, easy to get."

"I know this trick! - Apple laughed. -
You want me to give you the fruits myself?
This technique is used by all scammers,
You can't fool me! No way, no way!"

Apple grinned for a long time and ranted,
Explaining to Wolf how wrong he is,
Although at some point Apple already realized
That he was talking to himself,
Because Fox really gone.
Here's a cautionary fable, guys.
