The musician said to the wolf 'put your fore feet into that crack'; the wolf did so. Then the musician took up a stone, and hammered the wolfs feet into the crack so that he would make him a prisoner, and the musician said to him 'be good until I come back'. Then the musician went off. The wolf kept biting until he got off.

So the hare and the wolf went off, and when the musician came back they were gone.
