The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep, owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs.  But one day he found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so he put it on over his own pelt and strolled down among the sheep.  The Lamb, that belonged to the Sheep whose skin the Wolf was wearing, began to follow the Wolf in Sheeps clothing; and so leading the little lamb apart from the rest, he soon made a meal of her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep and enjoying hearty meals.
