<h2>THE SHEPHERD AND THE WOLF</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Shepherd found a Wolf's Cub straying in the pastures, and took
him home and reared him along with his dogs. When the Cub grew to
his full size, if ever a wolf stole a sheep from the flock, he used
to join the dogs in hunting him down. It sometimes happened that
the dogs failed to come up with the thief, and, abandoning the
pursuit, returned home. The Wolf would on such occasions continue
the chase by himself, and when he overtook the culprit, would stop
and share the feast with him, and then return to the Shepherd. But
if some time passed without a sheep being carried off by the
wolves, he would steal one himself and share his plunder with the
dogs. The Shepherd's suspicions were aroused, and one day he caught
him in the act; and, fastening a rope round his neck, hung him on
the nearest tree.</p>
