While out walking one night, a dog met a poor hungry wolf. The dog invited the wolf home to see of maybe his master had a job for a wolf. Along the way the wolf noticed the dog's neck had a mark and asked what it was. The dog told the wolf that he wore a collar and was chained up during the day. Horrified the wolf dashed off.

Is this a fable , fairy tale or silly story?

As DrWLS told you, this is a fable.

It teaches the lesson that freedom is much more important than being confined and restricted.

This story illustrates a meeting between a dog and a wolf, where the dog invites the wolf to his home to potentially find a job. However, during their journey, the wolf notices a mark on the dog's neck and asks what it is. The dog explains that he wears a collar and is chained up during the day. Upon hearing this, the wolf becomes horrified and runs away.

The story shows how the wolf, being a wild animal, is appalled by the idea of being restrained and confined like the dog. While the dog might have a comfortable life with his master, the wolf values its freedom and chooses not to sacrifice it.
