The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the

vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin

of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over

its 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 the Sheep’s clothing; so, leading the Lamb a little apart, he soon

made a meal off her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the

sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.

Appearances are deceptive.
