This went on for a long time.  Finally, the wolf realized that he could not best the raven.  Although the wolf was stronger, the raven's wings allowed it to attack without fear of reprisal. "Very well," the wolf told the raven.  "I will let you have this, my kill.  But I warn you that the meat will be the death of you." When the wolf went away, the raven watched for a time, to be certain.  Then it landed on the hind's body.  That raven feasted and feasted, gorging himself with the warm venison.  Its belly grew heavy.  It tried to flap away into the trees, but it had been too greedy. "I will just rest here," the raven thought, "until I am ready to fly again." Then the wolf came back.  In that way, both the wolf and the raven ate that day...but only the wolf lived to eat again another day.  The dream faded, and Kregor awoke, refreshed.</blockquote>
