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.”
Hypocritical speeches are easily seen through.
