A frisky young Kid had been left by the herdsman on the thatched
roof of a sheep shelter to keep him out of harm's way. The Kid
was browsing near the edge of the roof, when he spied a Wolf and
began to jeer at him, making faces and abusing him to his heart's
content.
"I hear you," said the Wolf, "and I haven't the least grudge
against you for what you say or do. When you are up there it is
the roof that's talking, not you."
_Do not say anything at any time that you would not say at all
times._
