The
story: once a hungry
wolf caught sight of a flock of sheep. He wanted to eat one. But he could not
do so, for fear of a big dog that was guarding them. At last he threw of a clever
plan to achieve his object. He put on a sheep’s skin and joined the flock
somehow or other. He took a sheep aside every day, and ate it up with great
delight. In this way, many sheep were killed, but the dog knew nothing about
it.
The shepherd found the number of his
sheep decreasing day by day. He tried to search them out. But it was all in
vain. One evening, he was driving the flock to the pen. Frightened something,
the sheep began to bleat. The wolf tried to do the same. But he could only
howl, and he was discovered at once. The shepherd beat him with a thick stick,
and he was killed there and then.
Moral: Do not try to be what
you are not.
