A Painful End

Once upon a time a Wolf resolved to disguise his appearance in order to secure food more
easily. He was hungry and knew that the shepherds of the area guarded their sheep well.

Encased in the skin of a sheep, he wandered into the pasture nearby. A flock of sheep was
grazing there, blissful under the morning sun. "When the shepherd turns his back I will slide
in with them," said the Wolf, making his sly move into the flock eventually.

Soon evening fell and the shepherd led his sheep away, back into the fold.

He locked the gate securely and left. "Aha! Now is my chance!" said the Wolf, and was about
to take off his disguise when the shepherd returned.

He had come back to the fold to choose one of the animals for its meat, for the next day's
meal. To the Wolf's bad luck, it was he, in sheep's disguise, who was chosen to be cut up!

The Wolf found himself instantly under the sharp knife of the shepherd. He was th shepherds
delicious dinner that night. Thus the hunter was hunted brutally in his own trickery.

Moral : Pretending you are someone you are not can be dangerous!
