The sheep king and the wolf enter the common territory, only 80 miles from the palace, and the sheep king wants to kill the wolf to make him appear like a human. The wolf is terrified, and stabs him in the back. He wants to get away from him, but he can't figure out how to do it. He's afraid that the wolf will cast a spell on him and make him look like a man, and he's also afraid that he'll be recognized by the people of the sheep kingdom, who can recognize him easily. The wolves head for the inn, where they'll collect protection fees from the king. The brothers are confused, because they don't realize that they're here to collect money for the king, not to kill him.
