The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

posted in Miscellaneous, Wolf |

Once upon a time a Wolf resolved to disguise his appearance in order to secure food more easily.

Encased in the skin of a sheep, the Wolf went out to pasture with the flock, deceiving the shepherd by his costume. In the evening he was shut up by the shepherd in the fold; the gate was closed, and the entrance made thoroughly secure.

When the shepherd, returning to the fold during the night to obtain meat for the next day, he mistakenly caught up the Wolf instead of a sheep, and killed him instantly.

Moral: If you go looking for trouble, trouble will find you.
