Sinister Wolf Gets Caught
A wolf used to look at a flock of sheep grazing at the edge of a
jungle. But it dared not attack these for fear of dogs. Not having been able to
resist its greed, the wolf made a plan. It put on sheep’s skin and got mixed up
with the flock. Whenever the sheep bleated, the wolf was apprehensive of
getting caught. So it wanted to mimic their bleeting. But it only howled while
trying to bleat. The dogs detected the pretending ‘sheep’ and killed it.
Moral : Greed leads us to
destruction.
