The Wolf And The Kid
Aesop Fable: The Wolf And The Kid
A kid, returning without protection from the pasture, was
pursued by a Wolf. Seeing he could not escape, he turned
round, and said: "I know, friend Wolf, that I must be your
prey, but before I die I would ask of you one favor you will
play me a tune to which I may dance."
The Wolf complied,
and while he was piping and the Kid was dancing, some
hounds hearing the sound ran up and began chasing the
Wolf. Turning to the Kid, he said, "It is just what I deserve;
for I, who am only a butcher, should not have turned piper
to please you."
