A
WOLF, sorely wounded and bitten by dogs, lay sick and maimed in his
lair. Being in want of food, he called to a Sheep who was passing,
and asked him to fetch some water from a stream flowing close beside
him. "For," he said, "if you will bring me drink, I will find means
to provide myself with meat." "Yes," said the Sheep, "If I should
bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat
also."
