<h2>THE WOLF AND THE SHEPHERD</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Wolf hung about near a flock of sheep for a long time, but
made no attempt to molest them. The Shepherd at first kept a sharp
eye on him, for he naturally thought he meant mischief: but as time
went by and the Wolf showed no inclination to meddle with the
flock, he began to look upon him more as a protector than as an
enemy: and when one day some errand took him to the city, he felt
no uneasiness at leaving the Wolf with the sheep. But as soon as
his back was turned the Wolf attacked them and killed the greater
number. When the Shepherd returned and saw the havoc he had
wrought, he cried, "It serves me right for trusting my flock to a
Wolf."</p>
