3. The Clever
Lamb and the Strong Wolf
Once a lamb was taking
pleasure of sweet grass at the edge of the field with a flock of sheep. She was
enjoying herself so much that she went farther and farther and didn't notice a
wolf coming nearer to her. When she was pounced upon by the wolf, the lamb
begged him to wait a while and stated when her stomach was full of grass, she
would be more tastier. Then he could devour her. Finding this a good idea he
sat down and waited. The lamb asked the wolf to permit her to dance, so the
grass would be digested faster in her stomach. Again, the wolf agreed. The
dancing lamb got a new idea to make him ring the bell as hard as he could, so
she could dance even faster. The wolf rang a bell as hard as he could. The
shepherd heard the bell ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing
lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the lamb's life.
Moral: A little creature can
sometime be dominating.
