Fable 231 - The Injured Wolf and the Ewe

A wolf, bitten and injured by some dogs, had fallen to the ground. As he was in no state to hunt for food, he espied a ewe
and begged her to fetch him a drink from the nearby stream:
‘If you give me something to drink I will find myself something to eat,’ said the wolf.
‘But if I give you something to drink,’ replied the ewe, ‘it is I who will make you a meal.’

This fable is aimed at the wrongdoer who lays a hypocritical trap.
