A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep, for the shepherd and his dogs watched them closely.
But one day the Wolf found the skin of a sheep that had been thrown aside. He put it on over his own coat, and strolled down among the flock.
A lamb soon began to follow the Wolf, thinking it was its mother. So, leading the lamb a little apart from the others, the Wolf made a fine meal of her.
For some time he went on deceiving the sheep and enjoying good meals.
But one evening the shepherd, wanting a bit of mutton for his supper, happened to pick the very animal in whose skin the Wolf was hiding. And that was the end of the Wolf.
The evil we plan for others often falls upon ourselves.
