The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A Wolf, wrapping himself in the skin of a Sheep, by that means got

admission into a sheepfold, where he devoured several of the young

Lambs. The Shepherd, however, soon found him out and hung him up to a

tree, still in his assumed disguise.

Some other Shepherds, passing that way, thought it was a sheep hanging

and cried to their friend: "What, brother! is that the way you serve

Sheep in this part of the country?"

"No, friends," cried he, giving at the same time the carcass a swing

around, so that they might see what it was; "but it is the way to serve

Wolves, even though they be dressed in Sheep's clothing."
