The Wolf and the Sheep, an Aesop’s Fable

November 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment

A Wolf, sorely wounded by dogs, lay recovering in his lair.  Being in want of food, he asked a Sheep who was passing by to fetch some water from a nearby stream.  “If you will bring me drink,” he said, “I will find meat myself.” “No doubt,” said the Sheep, “If I should bring you the drink, you would make mince-meat out of me.”

The moral of the story?  Hypocritical speeches are easily seen through.
