The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
A certain Wolf could not get
enough to eat because of the
watchfulness of the Shepherds.
But one night he found a sheep
skin that had been cast aside
and forgotten. The next day,
dressed in the skin, the Wolf
strolled into the pasture with the
Sheep. Soon a little Lamb was
following him about and was
quickly led away to slaughter.
That evening the Wolf entered
the fold with the flock. But it
happened that the Shepherd took
a fancy for mutton broth that
very evening, and, picking up a
knife, went to the fold. There
the first he laid hands on and
killed was the Wolf.
The evil doer often comes to harm through his own deceit.
