Aesop's Fable Friday

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A Wolf once found a Sheep's skin, and thinking he would have an easy way of getting his prey, wrapped himself in it and slipped into the sheepfold with the flock, intending to kill all he wanted during the night.

But soon after the Shepard had made the door fast, he found he had nothing for supper, and, going in with an axe to kill a sheep, he mistook the Wolf for one of them and killed him on the spot.

Moral of the story: The wicked often fall into their own traps.
