A hungry wolf stalked a flock of sheep but couldn’t grab one because a dutiful shepherd watched over them. Finding a discarded sheep skin, the wolf placed it over his own fur and slowly crept into the middle of the flock without the shepherd noticing.
Instead of pouncing on the nearest lamb and making his escape, the wolf decided to wait until night time when the flock was locked up and the shepherd was eating supper. Then I will have my pick of the flock, the wolf thought, enjoying a most delicious meal, and slip away unseen.

But that evening, the shepherd decided to have a big supper before going to bed. He went to the sheep pen in the dark, reach in and grabbed the big nearest sheep he put his hands on – which turned out to be the wolf and killed him.
