Sayfa 41 / 274

A Wolf resolved to disguise himself in order that he might prey

upon a flock of sheep without fear of detection. So he clothed

himself in a sheepskin, and slipped among the sheep when they

were out at pasture. He completely deceived the shepherd, and

when the flock was penned for the night he was shut in with the

rest. But that very night as it happened, the shepherd, requiring

a supply of mutton for the table, laid hands on the Wolf in

mistake for a Sheep, and killed him with his knife on the spot.
