The Wolf and the Sheep
A Wolf, sorely wounded and bitten by dogs, lay sick and maimed in his lair. Parched with thirst, he called to a Sheep who was passing and asked her to fetch some water from a stream flowing close by. “For,” he said, “if you will bring me drink, sister, I will find means to provide myself with meat.”
“Yes,” said the Sheep, “but if I should bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat also.”
