39. THE MAN, THE WOLF AND THE DOG
Perry 365 (Babrius
113)
A man was gathering his sheep into the fold one evening and was about
to enclose a tawny wolf inside with the flock. When the dog saw what he
was doing, he said to the man, 'How can you be serious about protecting
the sheep when you are introducing this creature among us?'
