Show The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. A wolf, clothing himself in the skin of a sheep, and getting in among the lock, by this means took the opportunity oppor-tunity to devour many of them. At last the shepherd discovered him and cunningly fastened a rope about his leek, tied him up to a tree which stood hard by. Some other shepherds happening to pass that .way and ob serving what he was about, drew near and expressed their admiration at it. "What!" says one of them, "brother, do you make hanging of a sheep?" "No," replied the other, "but I make hanging of a wolf whenever I catch him, though in the habit and garb of a sheep." Then he showed them their mistake and they applauded the justice jus-tice of the execution. Afsop (seventh sentury B. C.) |
