The Wolf and the Sheep
In Aesop's fable, The Wolf and the Sheep, a wolf tries to trick a savvy sheep into coming down to the stream to drink. The wolf puts forward several false accusations to make the sheep seem guilty and deserving of punishment. But, the clever sheep sees through the wolf's deception and manages to stay safe. The story teaches readers about the dangers of manipulation and the importance of wisdom and critical thinking.
A Wolf had been hurt in a fight with a Bear. He was unable to move and could not satisfy his hunger and thirst. A Sheep passed by near his hiding place, and the Wolf called to him. "Please fetch me a drink of water," he begged, "that might give me strength enough so I can get me some solid food." "Solid food!" said the Sheep. "That means me, I suppose. If I should bring you a drink, it would only serve to wash me down your throat. Don't talk to me about a drink!" A knave's hypocrisy is easily seen through.
