The Wolves And The Sheepdogs
Aesop Fable: The Wolves And The Sheepdogs
The wolves thus addressed the Sheepdogs: "Why should
you, who are like us in so many things, not be entirely of
one mind with us, and live with us as brothers should?
We
differ from you in one point only. We live in freedom, but
you bow down to and slave for men, who in return for your
services flog you with whips and put collars on your necks.
They make you also guard their sheep, and while they eat
the mutton throw only the bones to you. If you will be
persuaded by us, you will give us the sheep, and we will
enjoy them in common, till we all are surfeited."
The Dogs
listened favorably to these proposals, and, entering the
den of the Wolves, they were set upon and torn to pieces.
