Boy and Bone

"The Boy and the Bone" has a boy rather than a wolf swallow a bone. His sister, just back from the grocery, removes the bone and tells him that he should have waited for the Fairbank meat can which she has just brought home. Moral: "Buy the Fairbank Canning Co's meat and save accidental insurance."
