FABLE XLIII.

[Illustration: THE DOG AND THE SHEEP.]

The Dog sued the Sheep for a debt, of which the Kite and the Wolf were

to be judges. They, without debating long upon the matter, or making any

scruple for want of evidence, gave sentence for the plaintiff; who

immediately tore the poor Sheep in pieces, and divided the spoil with

the unjust judges.
