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.
